The Charleston County School of the Arts Vocal Department enjoys a long tradition of excellence in choral music. Directors Heather Hammond Caffarel and Robin A. Rogers lead the program, made up of 190 singers in grades six through twelve.
The SOA Singers have distinguished themselves creatively and academically since the school began in 1995. They have performed locally, nationally, and internationally. Recently, the choir performed in Rome, Florence, and Venice, Italy, and premiered a work by Z. Randall Stroope at Carnegie Hall.
The SOA Singers have consistently earned Superior ratings in choral festivals and competitions. They traditionally place large numbers of students into the South Carolina All-State Choir and American Choral Directors Association Honor Choirs.
