 On Tuesday, October 10, 18 members of the North Hills High School choral program will spend a day making music with over 200 singers from 20 high schools across the region at the first annual Allegheny County Chorus Festival. Modeled after similar events held in neighboring counties, this event seeks to provide an opportunity for students to experience a choral festival with students from other schools without the requirement of preparing an audition.
Gateway High School choral director Erich Lascek has organized this effort and is hosting two different ensembles in the school’s facility - a soprano-alto treble chorus and a mixed SATB ensemble. The groups will rehearse simultaneously and share in a performance at the end of the day. Rather than bringing in guest conductors, participating high school choral directors will share rehearsing and conducting responsibilities. Those directors not leading the rehearsals will sit with students throughout the day and sing in the ensembles in a side-by-side setting. A free public concert will take place at 7:00 p.m. in the Gateway High School auditorium. Participating North Hills choral students are taught by high school choral director Shaun Cloonan.
