Eastview High School Concert Choir

The Eastview High School Concert Choir (Apple Valley, MN) is a 70-voice auditioned choir comprised of students in grades 11 and 12. Their repertoire is diverse, incorporating music of many time periods, languages, cultures and styles. The Concert Choir has toured extensively to Europe, the Czech Republic and the British Isles. In 2003, they performed Mozart’s Solemn Vespers in Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall, and in 2001 were selected as one of five high school groups to perform Bernstein’s Chichester Psalms with the Minnesota Orchestra under the baton of Eiji Oue. They have also performed with the world-renowned Chanticleer.

Locally, the Concert Choir joins its sister schools in ISD 196 for the Dakota Valley Choral Festival each fall. The Festival features the mass choir of over 260 singers, a professional orchestra and a district children’s choir in the performance of a major choral-orchestral work. The Concert Choir has twice appeared at the MMEA Mid-Winter Clinic, both in 2001 and 2006.

The Eastview High School Choral Program is comprised of six choirs and involves nearly 400 students in grades 9-12. All students are auditioned and placed into a performing ensemble that best fits their individual musical skills and needs. There are also five co-curricular choirs that meet outside of the school day, as well as an annual musical theater production and Bravo!, a musical extravaganza. Eastview High School opened in 1997 and currently serves nearly 2200 students in grades 9-12.
