About High Spirits

Collectively, our mission is:

1. To sing and enjoy music; 

2. To provide a forum for communication and association among people who are interested in choral music; 

3.  To provide musical enjoyment and inspiration to the public through concerts and other musical activities;
 
4. To provide education in musical knowledge and instruction in choral musicianship and performance skills; 

5 . To enrich the lives of those who are disadvantaged or in need through benefit concerts and choral performances.

We sing an eclectic, uplifting and sometimes demanding repertoire that includes gospel, classical, jazz, show tunes, modern/contemporary, love songs, and world music.
