VocalEssence Mission

VocalEssence draws upon the power of singing together to nurture community, inspire creativity, affirm the value of all persons, and expand the influence of choral music.

VocalEssence Vision

VocalEssence seeks to be forward-thinking—a singing community where all find belonging. Aspiring to inspire, we discover, celebrate, and build lasting experiences that transform hearts and minds. We strive to create connections that honor dimensions of difference and to serve as a catalyst for change among singers, audiences, choral organizations, and communities.

VocalEssence Core Values

  • Curiosity & Discovery
  • Artistry & Creativity
  • Innovation & Inspiration
  • Collaboration

As a professional choral organization, we live our values in order to:

  • Bridge societal difference,
