Self-described "choir geeks" and "choir nerds" started off in choir. They all studied classical music and it is the basis of their talent now. They are some of the most popular Pop Artists working now. Check this out and be inspired to the places choir can take you!

We wanted to thank Voces8 for their awesome clinic with the Chorale girls yesterday! We are so glad that they got to work with us during their time in Texas before they go back "across the pond." They will be performing in a concert on Sunday night at St. Luke's United Methodist Church at 7:30. Mr. Van Hal will also be singing on the concert with the St. Luke's Choir. Please make it out to the concert if you can. Enjoy one of the tracks from their new album, "Lux."
