Become part of a dynamic new tradition in the Twin Cities

  • Sing a wide range of music—from classical to hip-hop & everything in between
  • Perform in world-class venues—Orchestra Hall, The Ordway Center for Performing Arts
  • Awaken your creativity by studying voice, dance, theatre, and spoken word

Under the visionary leadership of VocalEssence Singers Of This Age conductor, G. Phillip Shoultz, III, this ensemble revolutionizes the concept of choir and reflects the diversity of our community in its membership.

Free and Open to All

The VocalEssence Singers Of This Age is open to all high school students upon successful completion of an interview process.

There is no cost to participate. Upon making a year long commitment, singers receive free transportation to and from rehearsals and performances, performance uniforms, dinner and snacks, and complimentary concert tickets. The program focuses its attention on high school students in the Minneapolis, St. Louis Park, and Saint Paul Public School systems.

Diverse, Groundbreaking Artists                                   

We have an impressive team of artists, including:

  • Filipina-American rapper and hip-hop artist Dessa
  • Emmy award-winning actor T. Mychael Rambo
  • McKnight Artist Fellow and MN Sage Award winning dancer/choreographer Roxane Wallace
  • Verve-winning spoken-word artist/arts educator Chadwick Phillips
  • Karen Charles and Threads Dance Company
  • NBC’s The Voice contestant, Ashley DuBose
