The winter concert is just around the corner, and it’s time to start getting your Winter Concert outfits assembled. All singers will have a black/red/white outfit to wear when performing with Concordia, Virtuoso, Concert Choir, and Chorale. VoiceOver, Bella Visi, Fortis, and Contessa will have their official outfits to wear.
Outfit Lookbooks
All Singers
Please wear your black/red/white outfit to rehearsal on Tuesday, November 28
The overall palette is black with holiday red accents. Please make sure the red is a vibrant holiday red (shown below), and not maroon, pink, or orangey-red. White formal dress shirts may be worn with dress pants/suits/tuxes. Sequined black fabrics are great. The look should be formal–think wedding, dance, or recital.
