Male Vocal Arts Day is a day devoted to fostering musical passion and building choral community. We hope to simulate a real college rehearsal experience!

The day will culminate in a free public concert at the historic Hill Auditorium, where the high school singers will perform together with the Men's and Women's Glee Clubs, who will also showcase additional pieces from their current concert repertoire. Feel free to invite friends and family!
