Canzonetta - Beginner

Many girls begin their LAGC experience in the Canzonetta Choir starting in grades three and up where they are encouraged to develop good vocal skills, rehearsal and performance skills and behaviors, and music reading ability. Canzonetta performs at each major LAGC concert and a one day tour each spring. Canzonetta rehearsals are held at Peace Lutheran Church, 1011 12th Ave. N in Fargo, on Monday evenings from 6:00-7:00 p.m. Kathy Lindquist is the director of the Canzonetta Choir and Shimmer Foster is the accompanist.

Tour

Canzonetta takes a one-day tour each season. Additional group travel may be considered in order to accommodate LAGC participation in festivals or other performance opportunities.

Tour plans are made as early as possible so that families are able to plan their own activities, vacations, and finances accordingly. Each choir member pays for her own tour and LAGC offers optional fundraising activities in order to assure that the tours are affordable to all.

All LAGC members are strongly encouraged to participate in the tour because the enrichment opportunity is an integral part of our program! In addition, each choir is able to offer its best performance with all members participating. However, participation in tour is not required in order to participate in LAGC. Families who do not plan to participate are asked to contact the choir manager or director as soon as possible and definitely no later than the deadline date of the first tour payment. This early information is important to the tour budget because the number of participants impacts the price for all. In addition, this helps the directors to choose repertoire that can be successful with fewer singers if necessary.

Choir tours are chaperoned by parent volunteers who are selected through an application process.
