CorVoce Chamber Choir

CorVoce is a chamber chorus that gives voice to the heart and fosters community through the unique and expressive power of choral music. 

CorVoce broke new ground in 2023 as we celebrated lyricist Michael Dennis Browne, not only with a live concert, but with recorded interviews, culminating in a film by Barbara Wiener that gives a brief but glorious glimpse into Michael's contributions to choral music. You can watch that film HERE. 

After a successful 23-24 concert season which featured Conrad Susa's Lessons and Carols and Jake Runestad's American Triptych, we are moving forward with a new season of concerts. On November 16 and 17 the Path of Grace United Methodist Church's organ will be re-dedicated with a CorVoce performance of all treble voices in Good Treble, featuring Magnificat  by Kim Andre' Arnesen, with guest soprano Jennifer Sylvester and organist Joel Anderson. In April, we will be partnering with the Lake String Quartet and oboist Lorelei Giddings to present By Heart: A Choral Love Note. Our Give to the Max campaign will directly support this season's concerts and ongoing operations.

Once again, an anonymous donor will match all Give to the Max gifts up to $2000, in support of our upcoming spring program. Please help us unlock the match! A gift in any amount will be most sincerely appreciated. 

We are a completely donor-funded organization. We do not charge admission for our performances, ensuring our music is available to all. To this end, donations are sought and welcomed at performances (but not required for admission), as they are here at GiveMN.org. 

CorVoce is an auditioned, volunteer choral ensemble in the Twin Cities, offering evocative programming and high quality, collaborative performances presented free of charge. Our mission is to inspire the heart and foster community through the unique and expressive power of choral music.

Originally formed in 2003 as Saint Paul Vocal Forum, CorVoce continues to engage audiences with concerts comprising exquisite music and compelling media that are thematically connected and reflect various aspects of the human experience. Our artistic director, Karin Barrett, has directed the group since fall 2010.

Choir members hail from every corner of the Twin Cities area, from all walks of life, and volunteer their talents to bring together an amazing wealth of choral experience. CorVoce strives to not only brighten our world by sharing beautiful music, but also to promote understanding and bring people together through the medium of chamber choral music.
