Fort Myers High School

The Westminster Choir - Performance and Workshop Late morning - Early afternoon

The Westminster Choir, conducted by Dr. Joe Miller, will be making a stop at Fort Myers High School during their January tour of Florida.  This event is for students only.  Parents interested in attending must contact Mr. Koller in advance.

Information on The Westminster Choir may be obtained at www.rider.edu/wcc

Setting the standard for choral excellence for 90 years, the Westminster Choir is composed of students at Westminster Choir College, a division of Rider University’s Westminster College of the Arts, in Princeton, N.J.  It has been the chorus-in-residence for the Spoleto Festival USA since 1977, performing both in concert and as the opera chorus.

The ensemble’s 2010-2011 season includes a concert tour of Florida, performances at its home in Princeton, a broadcast of Westminster’s annual An Evening of Readings and Carols holiday concert and its annual residency at the Spoleto Festival USA.

Its second recording with Maestro Miller, Noël, was released in September.  A collection of French Christmas music and sacred works, the recording also features Westminster alumna Jennifer Larmore, the most recorded mezzo-soprano of our era, and organist Ken Cowan, a member of Westminster’s faculty.  The recording is also the centerpiece of the PRI Radio broadcast Noël – A Christmas from Paris, hosted by Bill McGlaughlin.

The choir’s debut recording with Maestro Miller, Flower of Beauty, received four stars from Choir and Organ magazine and earned critical praise from American Record Guide, which described the Westminster Choir as “the gold standard for academic choirs in America.”
