UPPER VOICE CHOIR
Choir Matrix
ABOUT
Choir Matrix
Choir Matrix is an upper voice ensemble open to all soprano and alto singers with no audition that meets during the fall and winter. Directed by Sarah Kaufold.
Our mission is to empower singers through healthy vocal technique and artistic exploration while connecting with the community through choral music that includes songs that amplify the voices of women and other historically oppressed composers.
​
We encourage those who are caregivers to join us as we have a tandem youth choral program (Consonare Youth Choirs) that rehearses at the same time. High school singers ages 14 and up are invited to sing with Choir Matrix.
Each year, we have invited experts to present a workshop with this ensemble. Choir Matrix has worked with Ellen Gilson Voth (CT composer and conductor), Melissa Dunphy (world renown composer), Sarah Quartel (world renown composer), Diana Woolner (CT composer), and Meredith Ziegler (mezzo soprano and vocal instructor).

Rehearsals are Sundays from 3:00-4:30pm
Storrs Congregational Church (Mansfield)
To promote inclusion in Choir Matrix, we...
-
offer choral opportunities where all singers are welcome and no audition is necessary
-
strive to offer participation at a low cost for all or no cost for those experiencing financial hardships
-
provide additional music learning resources and offer extra rehearsals for new singers to ensure artistic excellence for all
-
divide our choral season into short sessions with the intention of allowing those singers with busy schedules the opportunity to participate​​
​
Singers can participate in one or all of the sessions in any given choral season. Once you become a member of the Choir Matrix community, you will always be welcome to return if you miss a session.
