Rehearsals Mondays 7:30-9:00 p.m.
Church of the Saviour

We are especially looking for altos.
No auditions are required and you do not have to know
Swedish. A good ear for learning languages is needed, however.
Come and give us a try! Vasa Voices is a community choir specializing in
Swedish folksongs as a way of preserving and enjoying the rich Swedish musical
heritage. They meet weekly on Monday nights from 7:30-9:00 p.m. at Church
of the Saviour, 2537 Lee Road in Cleveland Hts, (1 block north of Fairmount
Blvd.) Although 95% of their music is sung in Swedish you do not
need to know the language to join the group. However, a good ear
for languages and an interest in Swedish culture would be helpful. They
are a member of the American Union of Swedish Singers and they sing 2 major
concerts a season as well as for occasional other cultural events. Upcoming
performances include the 100th Anniversary Celebration of the Nobel-Monitor Vasa
Lodge as well as an invitation to perform at the Scandinavian Festival in
Jamestown, NY.
Their director is Judith Higbee who holds
both her undergraduate degree in Music Education/Voice and her master's degree
in choral conducting from Westminster Choir College in Princeton, NJ. Judith is
in her 13th year as full-time Director of Music at Church of the Saviour
in Cleveland Heights whose music ministry includes 10 choirs in three worship
services plus an active Arts in the Cathedral program.
