Voices of the Valley

About Voices of the Valley

Voices of the Valley is a traditional vocal ensemble for both girls and boys ages 9-16 in residence at Columbus State University. The vision of Voices of the Valley is to inspire young singers to become life-long learners of music through choral experience and community engagement. A variety of age-appropriate vocal training using both traditional and modern literature is directed by music education professor, Dr. Michelle Herring Folta.

Founded in 2007, Voices of the Valley has grown to over 60 singers from all over the Chattahoochee Valley. Voices of the Valley has collaborated with the Columbus Symphony Orchestra for their "Celebration of America's Veterans" concert and for the Columbus Ballet’s production of The Nutcracker. Additional performances have included Columbus State University's Winterfest, the Choral Society of West Georgia Choral Festival in LaGrange, Georgia, and Uptown Columbus' ArtBeat. VOV recently completed an international choir tour of England in July, 2018. We are proud to have performed at the Georgia Music Educators Conference in January, 2019.

Rehearsals for Bella Voce are Monday nights from 6:00 - 8:00 and for Sola Voce on Monday nights from 5:30-8:00 on the CSU Riverpark Campus, room 1714. Our first rehearsal for the 2019-2020 season will be August 12, 2019.
