“Music Moves Us” is the theme of VocalEssence’s recently announced 2021-22 concert season.

The Minneapolis choral music group will return to in-person concerts in a variety of venues. Concerts will also be streamed online free of charge. Season tickets go on sale Aug. 23, with single tickets available on Sept. 17. For more details, see vocalessence.org.

“This new season is a tribute to the power of music to move us,” said associate artistic director G. Phillip Shoultz III in a news release. “We’ve watched as a growing demand for social change has pushed its way to the center of the national conversation, and music plays a huge role in helping us stay unified, inspired, and focused as the battle against inequality on so many fronts absorbs our energy.”
