Lyrica
LEER-i-kuh
Lyrica challenges young singers to continue to grow musically by introducing three-part harmonies and more advanced music vocabulary. Each week includes rehearsing songs from a variety of genres, and developing advanced choral singing techniques. At this level, singers are asked to take greater responsibility in their role as a choir member. Skills learned in Lyrica provide singers the foundation needed to perform and tour with Bel Canto.
Lyrica performs in the Columbia Choirs concert series and in the community throughout the year. Singers will be invited to sing with Lyrica through a choir placement appointment or by promotion from Harmonia.
