The Gunn Choirs
Choral Music at Gunn High School is a thriving department. Inspired by a sincere love of music and commitment to excellence, the Gunn High School Concert Choir, Treble Choir and Chamber Singers perform a wide variety of choral literature including Renaissance music, Baroque, Classical, Jazz, Gospel and music from countries around the world.
Since 1991, the choir has received 16 Unanimous Superior ratings from the California Music Educators Association. They have also been awarded First Prize at the National Events Festival at Vancouver B.C, the Heritage Festival in Anaheim, and the Command Performance Festival in San Diego.
Members of the choir have performed in and been recognized for outstanding performances in the All-State and Regional Honor Choirs and various festivals throughout the state.
The choirs travelled to Italy in 2006 to sing High Mass at St. Peter's Cathedral at the Vatican, and performed in Rome and Tuscany with the University Choir of California State University Long Beach, the Camerata Singers of Long Beach, and the Free University of Amsterdam Orchestra. Other recent trips have included destinations such as London, Vancouver, Los Angeles, Australia, New York City, and a cruise to Mexico.
