Chorus Angelicus
Internationally renowned children’s choir Chorus Angelicus is Northwestern Connecticut's premier children’s choir. Chorus Angelicus was founded in 1991 and now comprises four choral ensembles, involving children aged between 4 and 18 who hail from towns throughout southwestern New England. Rehearsals are educational, child-centered, age-appropriate, and fun, teaching not only music, but also important life skills such as poise, self-confidence and discipline, focus, memory, problem solving, and teamwork. Chorus Angelicus performs and tours both locally and abroad, from Boston and DC to Ireland and Spain.
