CONCERT CHOIR

     The Concert Choir is comprised of students from grades 9-12 who take choir during 
period three. Some students have choir five days a week and receive a full credit for 
participation in the choir. Other students take choir three days a week and receive a 
half credit for their participation in the choir.  


     The Concert Choir performs at various concerts throughout the school year. During 
this year, the Concert Choir has performed in settings ranging from the Annual Pep Rally 
to the CACTC Fashion Show.  


     Members of the Concert Choir have performed on two European Tours. These tours have 
taken place in 1999 and 2001.




CHAMBER CHOIR

The Chamber Choir is comprised of students from grades 9-12 who have auditioned for this group. The Chamber Choir rehearses from 6:45-7:30am on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. These students receive one half credit for their participation in the Chamber Choir. The Chamber Choir has recently performed at the Hartt School of Music, University of Hartford and for the dedication of the recent addition to Cranston West. While on tour, several members of the Chamber Choir have performed in Italy. In 1999, performances were given in Rome, Florence, Assisi and Venice. In 2001, performances were given in Rome, Palestrina, Sorrento and Roccella Ionica. Check out our performance at the church of Santa Maria del Popolo in Rome located on our Home Page. This church is of particular importance because it houses the famous painting by Carravagio entitled "The Crucifixion of Saint Peter". This performance was sponsored by the Akkademia dei Prossimali of Rome.
