Scottsdale student honor choir to perform Nov. 25

More than 300 children from fifth through 12th grades were selected through an audition process to perform in a Scottsdale Unified School District Honor Choir Concert at 7 p.m., Nov. 25, in the auditorium at Chaparral High School, 6935 E. Gold Dust Ave., Scottsdale.

Three separate choirs—elementary school, middle school, and high school—will perform “music of the highest caliber and difficulty,” noted Andrea Low, vocal music teacher at Pima Elementary School.

For this event, which is a free public event, guest conductors will direct each choir. The elementary school conductor is Susan Ingmire, vocal music teacher at Zuni Elementary School and Desert Canyon Middle School. The middle school conductor is Barbara Burly, vocal teacher at Mountainside Middle School. The high school conductor is Judy Durosher, choral director at Pinnacle High School in the Paradise Valley School District.
