Join the VocalEssence Chorus in an exploration of genre-defying selections that showcase the incredible versatility of the human voice. Span the globe with us as we highlight the diverse cultural influences that continue to shape American musical traditions and celebrate the 250th Anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Guest collaborators will extend the choral singing into a holistic, full-bodied celebration with puppetry from the Phantom Chorus Theatre, and demonstrations of dance from Africa, Asia, India, and Mexico from the Ghanaian Drumming and Dance Ensemble, the Hmong Dance Team from HOPE Community Academy, RGK Dance Ensemble, and Los Alegres Bailadores. The VocalEssence Singers Of This Age will also join this vibrant celebration and a spotlight will be placed on the music of VocalEssence ¡Cantaré!—an initiative that builds musical bridges between Mexico and Minnesota.
