The group was formed in May 2000 with a core of seven friends who had sung in other musical organizations but wanted to expand further into Pop, Swing, Broadway and Vocal Jazz music. Currently with 20 enthusiastic members, we share a love for close harmony and getting together to make our voices heard.
The vocal ensemble contains individuals who have performed at Orchestra Hall, The Ordway Center for the Performing Arts, The Fitzgerald Theater, Benson Great Hall, Maranatha, and the Minnesota State Fair. If you need a new and exciting musical experience, then you'll get what promises to be ... HARMONIC RELIEF.
