Music
Seycove's music program includes concert and jazz choirs, as well as an internationally acclaimed chamber choir. The choir is an auditioned student choral group. They have received numerous accolades in the past, winning "Best Youth Choir of the World" in the international Kathaumixw festival in Powell River, in July 2006. In May 2007, the chamber choir travelled to New York City to perform at Carnegie Hall with the New England Symphony. The school also presents a musical production outside of its regular music program every other year involving Broadway musical selections. In February 2011, the Seycove Women's and Chorale choir again returned to New York City to perform at Carnegie Hall.

Famous quotes containing the word music:
“My love shall hear the music of my hounds.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“If this be love, to clothe me with dark thoughts,
Haunting untrodden paths to wail apart;
My pleasures horror, music tragic notes,
Tears in mine eyes and sorrow at my heart.
If this be love, to live a living death,
Then do I love and draw this weary breath.”
—Samuel Daniel (1562–1619)
“In benevolent natures the impulse to pity is so sudden, that like instruments of music which obey the touch ... you would think the will was scarce concerned, and that the mind was altogether passive in the sympathy which her own goodness has excited. The truth is,—the soul is [so] ... wholly engrossed by the object of pity, that she does not ... take leisure to examine the principles upon which she acts.”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
