The Mira Costa Advanced Women’s Chorale performed at the Redland High School Women’s Choir Festival on Nov. 20, helping the chorale prepare for Wednesday’s winter concert, “This Shining Night.”
The annual festival is an event for high school women’s choirs to sing for each other and receive criticism from professors from of the University of Redlands. This festival is also practice to help individual and group choir performances.
“This festival is something we are thankful to be a part of,” senior Malia Elson said. “The professors truly help our choir become more knowledgable about the way we are singing.”
The chorale performed “Nunc tempus acceptabile,” “Ave Maria” and “Zion’s Walls.” Hayden chose these songs because they will be featured in the upcoming winter concert.
“The adjudicators were completely impressed with our performance and called the performance near perfect,” choir director Michael Hayden said.
Along with the Advanced Women’s Chorale, four other Costa choirs and two a cappella groups will perform at the winter concert. Admission for this concert is free.
“This concert is performed to give each choir the opportunity to sing in front of an audience and to use all the skills they have learned thus far,” Hayden said.
