WINONA LAKE — The community is invited to sign up and join Vocal Vision for the upcoming performance season.
The Vocal Vision choral ensemble of men and women from the community shares a love for music through singing in harmony. Members include men and women from the community and graduates of Vocal Vision Youth. The group strives to bring quality choral music to Warsaw/Winona Lake and the surrounding communities of Kosciusko County.
This year’s performances include a fall concert titled “Requiem of Hope,” featuring the work of Dan Forrest, “Requiem for the Living.”
“We are excited to welcome guest conductor Dr. Pearl Shangkuan, who will lead the chorus and orchestra through this beautiful work about hope,” said Ardis Faber, Vocal Vision conductor.
Leading up to the performance there will be three rehearsals — from 6:30-9 p.m. Oct. 23 and 24 and from 1:30-4 p.m. Oct. 25 — led by Shangkuan. The “Requiem of Hope” concert will take place at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 25, at Rodeheaver Auditorium, Winona Lake.
Also coming up will be Christmastime performances and a performance next spring.
During Christmas in the Village, “Celtic Christmas” will help to celebrate the magic of the season with two performances, at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 6, and at 4 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 7. “What a beautiful time of year,” said Faber, “to share holiday favorites, infused with the spirit and charm of Celtic music — plus a few delightful surprises along the way.”
The spring performance of Celebrate and Sing, titled “Fantastical,” brings to life a vivid soundscape where fantasy and artistry unite.
“From soaring melodies to playful rhythms, the program features musical selections that celebrate wonder, mystery and the power of imagination,” Faber said. The performance will be at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, April 18, 2026, at Rodeheaver Auditorium.
The Community Arts Program welcomes singers of all backgrounds to join for part or all of the upcoming season. Whether you’re a seasoned performer or simply love to sing, there’s a place for your voice in the ensemble. The group is especially in need of male voices to enrich its sound and be part of the performances ahead.
