WINONA LAKE — Community singers are invited to sign up and join Vocal Vision, the adult choir of the Community Arts Program, for our upcoming 2025-26 performance season.
The Vocal Vision choral ensemble of men and women from our community shares a love for music through singing in harmony. Members include men and women from the surrounding community as well as graduates of Vocal Vision Youth. We collaborate with the Lancer Chorus from Grace College and the Symphony of the Lakes orchestra. We strive to bring quality choral music to Warsaw / Winona Lake and the surrounding communities of Kosciusko County.
This year’s performances include a special Choral Fest weekend titled “Requiem for Hope” with guest conductor, Dr. Pearl Shangkuan, and will feature Requiem for the Living by Dan Forrest. Dr. Shangkuan, Director of the Grand Rapids Symphonic Chorus, is an internationally sought-after choral and symphonic conductor.
Dr. Shangkuan will work with local singers to prepare the lovely and stirring Requiem.
We are inviting all local singers to take part in this amazing experience! You will not want to miss the opportunity to sing and learn under Dr. Shangkuan’s expert teaching and conducting.
Combined rehearsals with Dr. Shangkuan will take place Oct. 23, 24, and 25. The Requiem for Hope concert will occur on October 25, 2025, at 7:30 PM in Rodeheaver Auditorium, Winona Lake.
Two Pre-season singing rehearsals have been scheduled, specifically for Requiem for the Living. Join us for these two sessions to get acquainted or reacquainted with this beautiful work. Those include Saturday, June 21, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., and Saturday, July 26, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.
Vocal Vision Thursday evening rehearsals will begin on Aug. 14.
