Our Mission: Ragazzi
Boys Chorus is committed to excellence in musical performance and
education. The Ragazzi experience instills self confidence, cooperation,
leadership, sensitivity and tenacity, helping our boys develop into young men
of character and distinction. Ragazzi serves our boys and the community
by performing a diverse selection of choral works to the highest
artistic standards.
Recently I attended a children’s theater
production with lots of costumes and many children running around in many
directions. My ten year old granddaughter who has been a part of another
theater company was with me and she commented how imprecise everything was. She
then talked about her experience rehearsing, “It was really boring to drill and
drill every detail of our play, but now I see that as a result of what may feel like tedious work, the audience
enjoys it much more. So do the performers!”
I mentioned this to the boys this week as
inspiration. As we drill and fuss and fix every little thing, we are creating
something we can be proud of and the boys know that at the end we are sharing
an experience that we are satisfied with, one that will express our emotions as
well as our ideals through our technique and move our audiences. And then it is
worth it.
