Find your voice in our community of singers
Vocal Alchemy is an adult community choir open to anyone who shares our belief in the transformative power of music, and our commitment to working together and growing as singers. With members from many walks of life and of varying skill levels, we come together because we love to sing, we value community, and we want to inspire others.
Weekly rehearsals, under the professional direction of Jordan Van Biert, help us learn and grow together. VA singers are challenged—and supported—to reach their full potential. The choir's carefully-chosen repertoire explores the rich heritage of the Western choral tradition: from its centuries-old monuments to new pieces written by living composers.
Each September, we take on new members as we begin a new season of rehearsals and performances. When capacity allows, we also accept new members mid-season in December/January.
If you are looking for a choir that balances a welcoming atmosphere with a commitment to excellence, you have found it! Use the form below to contact us for more information about joining.
Voice Placements
We have no formal audition, and welcome anyone who can match pitch and wants to sing and learn with us! New members do have the opportunity of a brief voice placement session with Jordan. This helps him gain familiarity with each new singer, and as need be, ensures placement in the appropriate section. This session can take place after joining the choir.
"The music is challenging and beautiful; it is exciting to learn and to perform."
“It feels great to work together in such a unique community with strong leadership to create an awesome sound.”
