A Busy Holiday Season

As you can imagine with the holidays comes a huge interest in the music of the season and that means a very busy time for the Franklin Choirs. A number of community organizations and schools will be treated to special holiday performances by the student of Franklin’s Vocal Music Department. These performances kick off today with a visit to Corsi’s Hall with a performance by the Select Choir for the Ladies Holiday Luncheon. Saturday the Select choir will lead the Clement Circle Civic Association for their Annual Christmas Celebration Sing-a-long. For more concert dates and times visit the Calendar of  Events on the right side of this page. With all the concerts and special appearances this promises to be one of the best holiday seasons yet.

Lights, Camera, Bel Canto Choir

On Wednesday afternoon the entire Bel Canto Choir got dressed up and traveled to the Detroit Public Television Studio in Wixom for a very special event! The taping of a PBS Special, Celebrate America. Although you won’t be able to see the special in all it’s High Definition glory until March we were able to get some behind the scenes pictures and footage of the performance. So please enjoy this wonderful performance by this incredibly talented group of kids!

Bel Canto Choir Camp 2009

On September 11th a group of Bel Canto Choir members made a trip to Camp Cavell in Lexington Michigan. The purpose of the retreat was to bring this group of talented young men and women together as a group or team. Through fun exercises and games they learned what makes them strong and how to support each other as a group. Rehearsals were also a big part of this weekend to help them prepare for several upcoming events such as television taping at the Detroit PBS station in October.
