Director of Choral Activities – Trevor Fanning

Trevor Fanning Trevor is beginning his second year as the Director of the Roncalli High School Rebel Choirs, after an exciting and successful first year. Some of the highlights of the 07-08 year included two Gold Rating placements in the ISSMA group choral competitions, the title of “Grand Champion” at the LC Central Sound Classic in the Festival Class Show Choir competition for its mob-era music themed “Fuhgeddaboudit!” show, and performing for a national audience when Indianapolis hosted the NCEA convention in March. The 5 choirs enjoyed singing in 3 major concerts throughout the year as well as at an Invitationals at UIndy and at various events throughout the City.

This year, the Rebel Choirs are planning some challenging and beautiful musical experiences, including a performance tour of Greece, a show choir show with a “rain” theme (with music by The Eurythmics, The Carpenters, Mahalia Jackson, Tina Turner, and even Prince!), a tribute to Frank Sinatra (at our Pops Concert and Cabaret) and much, much more!

Educated at Wabash College, Trevor Fanning is a native of Connecticut, where his love of choral music began. In high school Trevor performed in numerous musical groups (from large mixed ensembles to small male a capella ensembles and everything in between). Trevor continued his love of, and work in, choral education and performance in college (in New Orleans and later at Wabash College), and beyond. He has sung with ensembles in Louisiana, Indiana, Illinois, Connecitcut, and New York City. He has performed in musical theatre and plays in those places as well (recently performing at Buck Creek Playhouse and The Indianapolis Children’s Museum). Before arriving at RHS, Trevor spent 5 years teaching in Connecticut at his alma mater and at a Catholic boarding school. In addition has directed choral ensembles and theatre productions in Indiana, Illinois, and Connecticut.

We hope you will join us throughout the year for our exciting choral events: the UINDY Choral Invitational (Saturday, Oct. 18th), our Sacred Sounds Concert (Sunday, Oct. 19th), the Christmas Concert (Sunday, Dec. 14th), and our Pops Concert “My Way: A Tribute to Frank Sinatra” (Saturday, May 9th 2009).

Next year’s Spring Musical will be “The Secret Garden” and it will run March 19, 20, and 21st 2009. We hope to see you here for this beautiful and affirming musical.

And of course, “Soon It’s Gonna Rain”, the 08-09 show choir show will be performed in competition Jan 31st, 2009, Feb. 21st, and Feb. 28th 2009.
