Advanced Handbelll Ensemble
The Connelly Advanced Handbell Ensemble, an auditioned ensemble, focuses on intermediate to advanced handbell techniques. The class continues the study of Music Theory as it pertains to handbells, including more complex rhythms, faster pitch recognition, extreme dynamics, articulation techniques, as well as further exploration of expression and musicality. The ensemble participates fully in many liturgies at Connelly as well as perform in concerts and festivals throughout the school year. The class also addresses appropriate handbell usage in Catholic liturgy as well as viable performance medium in concerts.
Chamber Singers
A mixed student ensemble to study and perform the vast amount of choral literature for mixed voices. Advanced vocal techniques as well as ensemble techniques and considerations are addressed in this class. Members perform throughout the school year as well as give special performances in liturgies at Connelly and throughout the diocese and community.
"As a director I loved the personal touch Incantato was able to provide and the attention they gave to even the smallest details. Incantato worked with us to suit our tour of Central Europe to our ensemble’s needs and objectives. The result was a brilliant tour that featured amazing performance venues, excellent guides, and unique cultural experiences that the students and I will remember for a lifetime."
Dr. Graeme Langager - Director of Choral Activities, University of Arkansas
