Who we are:
High Spirits is a 25 year old choir which was founded by our conductor, Ieva (pronounced EE-yeh-vah) Wool. We are a 4 part community choir (SATB) but we split into 6 and even 8 parts (SSAATTBB) for many of our songs. There are 45 to 60 singers in the choir, and we limit the choir to no more than 65 singers, because we don’t ever want to lose the community feeling that the choir is know
n for. The ages of our singers range from early 20s to a couple in their 60s and even one in his 70s, but the majority of singers in their 30s and 40s. What we sing:
Our music is eclectic, meaning that we sing a little bit of everything, and every season our repertoire changes. Having a varied repertoire is great, because it gives us the opportunity to sing all kinds of music, rather than just one genre. (And if there is a song that you don’t like, you don’t have to worry about there being 10 more songs just like it.) Joining the choir:
The first two rehearsals of every season are Open Rehearsals. Singers with strong choral experience are invited to sing with us for the two weeks, to see if it’s a good fit, for you and for the choir There is no fee for attending these two rehearsals, but you need to attend both of them. For these two rehearsals, we consider you a member of the choir, and you are given music to take home with you, so that you can practice between Week 1 and Week 2.
