Quick Facts:
Ecco consists of approximately 20-40 mixed voices: young singers with changed voices, plus singers of all genders in tenth grade or above.
Most of the singers have progressed through the PEBCC program and are dedicated choral artists who have been members of the prize-winning Ensemble in choral competitions. Newcomers who wish to participate in a high-caliber choral experience are welcome to audition.
Ecco members may choose to attend choir camp in July/August with the full season beginning in September. The group rehearses on Monday evenings throughout the school year and performs four or more times each season.
Ecco typically takes a weekend retreat during the Fall and engages in socializing through such additional activities as a night at the opera, bowling, and other bonding activities.
