Led by conductor Robert Graham and pianist John Jensen of VocalEssence, a 54-year old choral music organization based in Minneapolis – singers of all levels of musical skill and experience are encouraged to come and raise their voices. We work on learning a variety of familiar and new music while forging new friendships and connections along the way.
