Just Voices is a professional level a cappella mixed vocal ensemble. The repertoire is eclectic, from early medieval/renaissance to new compositions of the 21 st century. It also includes traditional folk songs and spirituals, as well as arrangements of popular standards in today’s contemporary a cappella sound. As the professional ensemble within SingersMarin, Just Voices is setting the standard of excellence for the art of choral singing.
Singing currently as a double quartet, a larger ensemble of up to 20 voices is anticipated in the future. Smaller groups within the ensemble may perform selected repertoire independently. Membership is by audition and held by appointment throughout the year. What we are looking for:
- Extensive choral and a cappella singing experience

- Language experience (Latin, German, French, Spanish)
