Singing in a Small Ensemble: small group or chamber group singing is where every voice really matters, because you are the only person singing your part! If you ever wanted to perform in a trio, quartet, quintet or sextet, here's your chance.

Participants are asked to preregister online to help us prepare music for forming ensembles. Ensembles can come already formed (bring 2 pieces of music with you) or we will assign ensemble members and music at the first meeting.
