When VocalEssence brings in a group like Voz en Punto for VocalEssence Presents: Voz en Punto on November 15, we engage them in more than the performance—we want them to work with all aspects of the community! From November 13-16, the group will visit schools, lead a community sing and perform as part of a worship service. Enjoy some highlights of their trip:

  • Voz en Punto will work with the concert choir at Anoka High School, one of José Galván’s schools when he participated in the 2013-2014 VocalEssence ¡Cantaré! program. They will work on Spanish language music from Mexico as well as share some of the traditional songs from Mexico that they perform.
  • Voz en Punto will perform a 45-minute assembly at Parkway Middle School in Saint Paul (75% free and reduced lunch) as part of  VocalEssence advocacy for choral arts. Since this school has a young choral program with only 35 students and 14% of their student body is Latino, both the principal and music teacher want to expose their students to professional musicians from a variety of cultures so that they can continue to build their music program.
  • Voz en Punto director and past VocalEssence ¡Cantaré! composer José Galván will engage singers of all ages in a FREE Community Sing on Saturday, November 14 at Our Lady of Guadalupe Church in Saint Paul. It will be a fun-filled morning of singing, laughing and dancing Mexican-style. The parish was founded in 1931 by a small group of Mexican immigrants and continues to thrive today with life and enthusiasm.
  • On Saturday, November 14 at 2 pm, Voz en Punto will perform an hour-long concert for visitors at the Minnesota History Center in St. Paul. The performance is free with museum admission.
  • Voz en Punto will sing several sacred selections for the two morning services on Sunday, November 15 at Plymouth Congregational Church in Minneapolis.
