The Tudor Rose School of Music Boy Choir. Kerry R. Scott (1949 - ) The Tudor Rose School of Music Boy Choir was a civic choir comprised of boys between the ages of eight and twelve years old.
It was directed and run by the co-founder of the Tudor Rose School of Music Jane Adams Scheoner. All the members of the choir lived in or around the Ridgefield Ct. area and it performed both sacred and secular music. The aim of the choir was to encourage self-dicipline and poise through concert performance and to inspire pride in accomplishment. A further purpose was to provide cultural and personal enrichment while participating in planned activities and singing fine music.
The Tudor Rose School of Music Boy Choir was eventually divided in two. Firstly, the Concert Choir which served the community through regular concert performances. Secondly, a smaller group was chosen, at the discretion of the Director of Music, to form a special a choir to undergo thorough preparation to sing concerts in major urban areas.
