These young singers offer an array of choral music, led by teacher and Performing Arts department chair Laura Webster.

The mission of the Hathaway Brown High School Choirs is to experience, understand and appreciate music through singing; explore musicianship and artistry; gain a greater understanding of the world and its people, past and present; and share the choral art with others. HB Singers is open to all students who love to sing and want an ensemble experience. Students learn fundamentals of singing, music literacy, and choral expression as they perform excellent women’s choir literature from various time periods and cultures. Bravuras is a small, select ensemble of sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Bravuras perform advanced women’s choir repertoire from a variety of time periods, world traditions, and modern genres such as pop and vocal jazz. Attention is given to sophisticated vocal techniques, aural skills, blend and balance, artistry, and stage presence. Performances include winter and spring concerts, school and community events, and adjudicated contests.
