LCHS Choir Information Update 9/26/07
The choir program at Lexington Catholic High School under the direction of Adam Beeken and Robert Vanover is a relatively young program. In recent years the choir has grown from under thirty students with one part time instructor to over two hundred students with two full time instructors. The school has six curricular ensembles. There are also four extra curricular groups (Pop A Capella Groups—MidKnight M’Ladyes and After Hours—Music Ministry, and Show Choir). Annually the choir program has six concerts; sponsors a successful Madrigal Dinner; participates in various honor choirs, festivals, and competitions; maintains a large private voice program of over fifty students; collaborates with music education students from the University of Kentucky; and tours regionally and locally. The choirs have received high ratings and first place awards at district festivals and during trips to Orlando, Chicago, and New York. The choir also commissions a new choral compositions each year (Earlene Rentz “Appalachian Celebration” [Carl Fischer 2008] and Linda Spevacek “Fantasia on Psalm 150” [Heritage 2008]) In 2007 the choir program was the recipient of a $25,000 grant from the Lucille Little Foundation for the purchase of a 6’0” Boston Grand Piano. Recently the music department has developed its curriculum to include Honors Music Theory, AP Music Theory, Introduction to Piano, Advanced Piano, and hopes to offer Private Voice lessons for academic credit in the future.
