On October 16th, the Chamber Singers of EHS will be performing in a master class for “Voces8” Choir. Voces8 is a prestigious, well known 8-part a capella group that originated in 2005, from the United Kingdom. They participate in world-wide masterclasses and workshops to help other choirs achieve their full potential. Our choir has been granted the wonderful opportunity to work with “Voces8” on October 16, 2021 in New York City. With our new director, Mr. Josh Lisner, the choir will be performing several pieces for the choir, and for the Montclair State University choir, to get critiques and insight into their musical expertise. 

Through the years Voces8 has performed at many noteworthy events and places, such as Wigmore Hall, Tokyo Opera City, NCPA Beijing, and many countries like France, Italy, Singapore, and more. Touring around the world for many years, they are now able to resume this, and are coming to the United States. This year, they welcome a new member, Molly Noon in the Second Soprano seat. We have graciously accepted to participate in this grandeur experience, and are very excited to be working with the group!

On Saturday September 18th, the EHS held its first Choir Retreat, a 9-5 event that welcomed members of all three choirs – Concert choir, A capella Choir, and Chamber Singers. Students not only got the opportunity to rehearse all together throughout the day, but also participated in team bonding activities, including races, volleyball, a scavenger hunt, and more! The morning started off with a rehearsal, followed by activities and pizza for lunch. Afterwards, the choir rehearsed once again, and participated in more games that carried on into the evening. 

Diligent and determined, the singers rehearsed choir repertoire for a total of three hours throughout the event! Under the direction of Mr. Josh Lisner, and with the help of pianist Mr. Morrow, the students reviewed the songs they had learned in class, and learned new pieces. During the activities after each rehearsal, the choir was split into four teams, each one labeled either Red, Blue, Green or Purple. Working together in their teams, everyone’s spirits were high. Each team cheered their fellow members on, and the exciting atmosphere and vibrant energy of the event remained throughout the day. 

The choir retreat was an incredible success; a memorable experience and a new tradition for the EHS Choir. It was also an opportunity for the choir members to bond with one another after the virtual school year. We are so excited for more amazing retreats in the near future!
