Welcome to the CMW Chorus Page!
Overview of our programs:
Men's Chorus and Women's Chorus: These choirs are non-auditioned and are comprised of students from all grade levels including freshmen who are transitioning into the high school choral program. They study a variety of musical genres and perform both independently as well as combined with other choirs at the Winter Concert in December and the Spring Concert in May.
Advanced Chorus: This choir is a highly competitive group that aims to feature the most talented singers of C. Milton Wright’s choral program. Admission is only through an audition process that examines individual singing ability as well as sight-singing and rhythm performance. This group performs more frequently within the community and travels to the HCPS County Assessments as well as the Maryland State Choir Festival.
The C. Miltones: This after school a cappella group meets once a week. Admission into this group is through audition only. The group performs within the community and at scheduled concerts throughout the year.
