Vox A Capella Band from Mexico recently visited the Midwest and made a special trip to the Twin Cities. Led by former VocalEssence ¡Cantaré! composer, Julio Morales, the group spent time with the moms and their babies at Longfellow Alternative High School, attended and performed at the VocalEssence Chorus and Singers Of This Age rehearsals, and recorded videos for the VocalEssence online education resource hub.

Enjoy a video and some photos from their time in Minnesota.
