Treble Choir, for singers primarily grades 5 & 6, focuses on expanding vocal range and tone quality and developing music-reading skills through unison, 2- and 3-part singing. The Treble Choir performs locally and regionally and takes a two-day tour each spring.

Members of Treble Choir also participate in Con Brio, for girls, or Troubadours, for boys, at no additional charge.

Members of Con Brio, for all girls in Treble and Concert Choirs, have the opportunity to sing together in this example of collaborative education. Under the direction of Elizabeth Shepley, the younger singers learn quickly from their more experienced role models; while the older girls benefit from mentoring their younger choristers.

The Troubadours is a choir for all boys in Treble and Concert Choirs. Dr. Anton Armstrong is assisted each year by a St. Olaf intern who conducts the group in the spring season. The internship has proved an outstanding educational opportunity for a number of young directors as well as the singers who benefit from this excellent collaborative effort.
