North Star Tour Archives

VocalEssence Ensemble Singers
Philip Brunelle, conductor
Hail, Minnesota! In Fall 2011 The internationally- acclaimed VocalEssence Ensemble Singers travelled the state along scenic Highway 23, taking a tour of our musical heritage all the way from Minnesota’s leading choral composers, to our state’s most famous singer-songwriters, to the folksong traditions of our grandparents. The concert program featured a high-spirited celebration of all things Minnesota!
The Ensemble Singers made stops in October and November in Marshall, Luverne, Montevideo, Duluth and St. Cloud, finishing up the tour with a Homecoming Concert in St. Paul on November 6.

The North Star Tour is generously supported by Land O'Lakes.

VocalEssence is a fiscal year 2011 recipient of an Arts Tour grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board. This activity is funded, in part, by the Minnesota arts and cultural heritage fund as appropriated by the Minnesota State Legislature with money from the Legacy Amendment vote of the people of Minnesota on November 4, 2008.
