Dr. Cheryl Frazes-Hill & the CCPA Conservatory Chorus visit South HS





















Grammy award winning conductor and music educator Dr. Cheryl Frazes-Hill visited South High School today with select members of the Roosevelt University/Chicago College of Performing Arts Conservatory Chorus. Dr. Frazes-Hill worked with the DGS Madrigal Singers, emphasizing linear musical phrasing and blend between voices. The clinic with Dr. Frazes-Hill was followed by a performance of Rossini's Petite Messe Solenelle by members of the CCPA Conservatory Chorus. This graduate level chorus is comprised of students studying to be professional opera singers. The beauty of the sounds that filled the DGS choir room was palpalable. Special thanks to Roosevelt University for providing this opportunity for the student musicians at South High School this afternoon.
