Doctors, homemakers, business people, educators, lawyers — the volunteer members of the VocalEssence Chorus come from all walks of life. They have in common beautiful voices, great talent and commitment to the process of rehearsing and performing choral music at the highest level. Many have college level or higher training in classical music and have sung professionally. The 32-voice VocalEssence Ensemble Singers are the core of the full VocalEssence Chorus, comprising a total of 130 voices.

Rehearsals are held on Tuesday evenings from September through May. Special rehearsals are also held as needed. The VocalEssence Chorus sings for recordings, radio broadcasts and other special occasions as well as at VocalEssence concerts.

Auditions are held by appointment only. Each singer goes through a rigorous audition that includes sight-reading and tonal memory.To schedule an audition, call 612-547-1452 or email operations@vocalessence.org.
