St. Joseph's Academy

Performing Art: Choral

Frontenac Voices

Open to sophomores, juniors and seniors by audition only. The Frontenac Voices represent the premier, select Choir of St. Joseph’s Academy. This Chamber Chorus is designed to challenge the student who is particularly gifted and interested in singing. The group has the opportunity to perform more challenging repertoire, and represents the school on various occasions both on and off campus. This Chorus rehearses before school four days a week and requires a serious commitment from its members.
