WFS Chamber Singers Participate in Four-School Workshop
Last week, Chamber Singers participated in the annual Four-School Workshop and Festival Concert with choirs from Sanford, Tatnall, and Tower Hill schools.
This year's guest clinician is Grant Farmer from The Choir School of Delaware, and Tatnall was the host school. This daylong event featured rehearsals with the combined choirs, which gave students an opportunity to share musical experiences as a whole rather than in competition. The evening concert featured a short performance by each school, as well as the combined choirs presenting the works prepared during the day. Kenzie Wilson '26 was selected from WFS for a solo!
