Strike Up the Choir

With only three months of experience together, the 45-voice chorus of the High School Master Chorale makes its debut along with the Buffalo Choral Arts singers this Sunday afternoon at St. Amelia’s Church in Tonawanda with at its Strike Up the Choirs concert. The members of the BCAS High School Master Chorale are some of the most outstanding teenaged singers in the Western New York area. The newly formed chorus is made up of select high school students from both public and private schools. The chorus is conducted and directed by Norman Zogaib, the director of the vocal music department at Hamburg High School. Zogaib has a reputation for being one of the most successful examples of Western New York’s superiority in high school choral instruction. Strike Up the Choirs features selections of sacred music by John Rutter, choral works by Hank Beebe and many more.
