Concert Chorus is SCC’s top performing ensemble. Concert Chorus members can choose to rehearse once weekly or twice weekly; only choristers registered and committed to twice weekly rehearsals are eligible for this ensemble’s annual choir trip, in 2024 to participate in the Windy Cities Festival in Chicago, Illinois. In addition to the two annual SCC concerts (Winter and Spring), Concert Chorus joins with the Chorale and Singers of George Mason University in November 2023; they add community events like caroling at the Strathmore Mansion and concerts at Asbury Retirement Village, and they collaborate with other professional artists and Strathmore Hall partners throughout the year. The ensemble learns three- and four-part repertoire, and members are expected to start with a level of musical understanding that is required of Maryland Music Educators Association Junior All State musicianship—the ability to sight-sing a four-measure, diatonic, major-scale melody with some skips; to sight-read rhythmic patterns including notes and rests from sixteenths to wholes including dotted and syncopated rhythms, and to read with independence from multi-stave choral vocal scores.
