Lumo

Introducing Lumo, a once-a-week choral program for singers in grades 6 – 12 who are curious about the experience of singing in a group, but who don’t feel a desire to dive deeply into music literacy.
 
This program focuses on the experience of singing, which means plenty of vocal technique and performance skill-building, without the rigorous performance calendar of other HCC programs, and no expectation of individual practice or music theory work between rehearsals. Lumo requires NO previous musical experience or skill. 
 
Lumo will participate in the all-choir HCC performances in December and May, but will not participate in any other guest appearances, workshops, retreats, overnight intensives, or tours. 
 
Lumo does not serve to prepare singers to participate in the HCC touring choir, Ilumini. For singers wanting to move into Ilumini, Esprimas is the ideal preparatory program. 
 
While this program requires no previous experience, registration in Lumo requires a Vocal Assessment, so we can get to know the young singer and make a confident recommendation about which HCC ensemble will best bring out their passion. Book your assessment below.

Testimonials
  • Ashley Carpenter, Alumna
    I feel so honoured to be a chorister with the HCC. It has opened up my learning capabilities and allowed me to express myself artistically in an amazing environment.

  • Sarah Davis, Alumna
    I credit being part of the choir assisting me in my career path, giving me confidence in front of groups of people and giving me the ability to be successful and grow quickly in my roles.
    Sarah Davis, Alumna
  • Alyssa LeClair, Alumna
    What the HCC does best is give people who are feeling like they don’t belong a place to express themselves, and as a young artist… that’s truly invaluable.
    Alyssa LeClair, Alumna
  • Nathan Fledderus, Chorister
    Through the HCC, I’ve made so many strong friendships and advanced musically to a level I never thought I could. The HCC is a safe learning environment in which choristers and director learn more than just music, which is brought together by a common goal.
    Nathan Fledderus, Chorister
  • Ardra Shephard, Alumna
    The ways in which my years as part of the HCC have affected my life and who I am today are too manifold to count. HCC was the most influential experience of my teenage years and I am incredibly grateful for it.
    Ardra Shephard, Alumna
  • Erica Charles, Alumna
    There’s a perfect balance of discipline, work ethic, fun, and creativity that’s encouraged within this group. You learn how to pull together as a team: both musically and intellectually. You succeed alongside one another. You encourage each other’s highs and are there for one another for the lows. You literally learn how to breathe together: what could be more magical than that?
    Erica Charles, Alumna
  • Sophia Brohman, Chorister
    When I joined the HCC, suddenly there was a whole room of people who felt the exact same way I did when I was singing.
