Murray Avenue Choral Program
Murray Avenue Choral Program
The Murray Avenue Choral Program is comprised of ~250 singers across four ensembles: 4th & 5th Grade Chorus, 6th Grade Chorus, and ManChoir. 6th grade ensembles meet during a student's specials period once every six day cycle, while 4th & 5th Grade Chorus meets solely after-school. After-school rehearsals occur twice each month for an hour for 6th Grade Chorus and 4th & 5th Grade Chorus. ManChoir is an ensemble that provides new, male-identifying singers a safe place to explore their newly changing voices. Singers in the Murray Avenue Choral Program can expect to experience a high-quality, engaging, and award-winning vocal music education in which they will sing exciting and appropriately challenging songs from all genres (including pop, R&B, soul jazz, and legit choral repertoire). Murray Avenue Choirs perform two concerts each year.
Mr. Weisblatt directs 6th Grade Chorus and can be contacted at eweisblatt@lmtsd.org. Mrs. Eisenman directs the fourth and fifth grade chorus and contacted at heisenman@lmtsd.org.
