FESTIVAL SINGERS

 Classics to Feed the Soul

Festival Singers, Carolina Voices' "Classical" chamber choir, is comprised of 26-32 auditioned singers under the direction of Donna Hill.  The ensemble specializes in presenting programs that have connections to spiritual and social topics of profound relevance and meaning, in an effort to inspire, engage and entertain its audiences.  Its repertoire ranges from traditional "Classical" works to spirituals, folk songs and contemporary choral music.  The group reaches out to diverse communities and seeks opportunities for collaborations.
