VocalEssence is expanding upon the work we have done for nearly three decades in providing Minneapolis and St. Paul students access to choral music. We are creating a VocalEssence Youth Choir that revolutionizes our concept of choir and seeks to reflect the diversity of our community in its membership. Through this choir, we seek to empower young people through artistic expression, champion the community building capacity of group singing, and encourage a wider circle of participation in the art form. The choir will be conducted by VocalEssence Associate Conductor G. Phillip Shoultz, III. VocalEssence is running a GoFundMe Campaign to help fund the youth choir. Click here to learn more.
This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board, thanks go a legislative appropriation form the arts and cultural heritage fund.
