The VocalEssence Singers Of This Age (SOTA) is a community of Twin Cities teenagers engaged in expanding what it means to be a choir and encouraging a wider circle of participation in the art form. Presenting music ranging from classical to hip-hop, they use creativity and collaboration to build an accepting community, equipped with the skills to lead social change in our society. The program is completely free to participants upon successful completion of an interview process. They perform in world-class venues and awaken their creativity through immersive arts experiences with teaching artists representing a variety of artistic disciplines.

VocalEssence Singers Of This Age will serve as a demonstration choir for an interest session presented at the 2027 National Conference.
