Bass Ensemble.
Your voice, amplified.
For young singers ages 12 and up with changed and changing voices, the Brooklyn Youth Chorus Bass Ensemble offers the ultimate experience in vocal artistry for lower voices. This unique ensemble provides an unparalleled opportunity to delve into the rich world of tenor and bass choral singing. The Bass Ensemble also rehearses with the Concert Ensemble (high, treble voices) on a weekly basis to prepare mixed voice (soprano, alto, tenor, bass) repertoire for projects and performances.
