As we conclude the Choir School of Hartford’s 2025–26 program year, we are proud to reflect on all that our choristers have accomplished. Most importantly, we celebrate the remarkable growth of these young musicians—both as individuals and as a unified choir.
This year, every chorister expanded their musical knowledge and developed new confidence in their singing. Our more experienced choristers discovered new maturity in their voices, while our newest members brought enthusiasm, curiosity, and rapid progress through their standards. Together, they have become a true community of friends and musicians.
Their hard work and dedication—combined with the strength of the Choir School program and the leadership of our Music Director, Markus Centola—made this a year filled with excellent music and meaningful learning.
We are deeply grateful to our donors, whose belief in this program and in the potential of our choristers makes this work possible. With your continued support, the Choir School will keep bringing musical education and beautiful choral experiences into the lives of young people.
Thank you all for a wonderful year.
This summer marked a dynamic chapter for our choristers and the Choir School. From the successful debut of our new website—choirschoolofhartford.org—to an inspiring Summer Workshop, our community embraced growth, creativity, and joy.
This year we are thrilled to welcome five new choristers to our program. With enriching trips planned to New Haven and New York City, our calendar is packed with opportunities for musical exploration, cultural engagement, and unforgettable memories.
