About Us

Founded 14 years ago, Collage Vocal Ensemble is a mixed chamber choir of around 20 singers that performs compelling and challenging repertoire featuring a variety of musical genres from classical to spirituals to vocal jazz to 20th and 21st century compositions.

We perform two concerts each year. In those concerts, we have performed music from the 16th to the 21st centuries, in a multitude of languages, from classical art music, to world music, to barbershop and show tunes (even Russian ones!).  Each concert program is tailored to the individual voices in the group, and designed to expose our audience to a mix of the familiar and the new.  Some pieces are performed by the full ensemble; other pieces by just the women, just the men, quartets, etc. 

We make music together for the sheer love of it, but we also believe in harnessing the power of the arts to improve the lives of the less fortunate in our community, and to encourage others to do the same. That is why we donate all net proceeds from our concert performances to local charities. Since our inaugural season, we have partnered with our performance venues to collect donations for LifeMoves, dedicated to solutions to homelessness, and Music in the Schools.
