The ASI Lucia Choir is a seasonal youth choir honoring Sankta Lucia Day. A time-honored tradition, the Lucia Choir brings light to the darkest time of year through Lucia in the Mansion and public performances as part of ASI’s holiday season. Lucia in the Mansion, which is open exclusively to ASI Members, is held in the Turnblad Mansion’s Grand Hall and is one of the ASI community’s most cherished holiday events.
Participation in the Lucia Choir is open to all K-12 youth who are ASI members. Knowledge of the Swedish language is not necessary. Participants are separated into two choirs based on age. Choir 1 is K-4th grade. Choir 2 is 5th-12th grade.
Eligibility:
To be eligible for participation in Lucia Choir, participants and/or their families must meet the following requirements:
Registration: Lucia Choir has a maximum of 75 participants each year. Participants from previous years (2019 and 2020) are invited to register for this year’s choir first.
