Jenny Lind is a select treble ensemble for those who wish to develop advanced choral skills and a better understanding of various styles of choral music composed for sopranos and altos. The ensemble’s chosen repertoire — from folk to contemporary, ancient to modern— focuses on moving forward and upward, overcoming challenges and celebrating compassion.
Dr. Michael Zemek directs the Jenny Lind Vocal Ensemble.
The ensemble is named after Jenny Lind (1820-1887), a Swedish opera singer known as the “Swedish Nightingale” and considered the finest coloratura of her day.
The ensemble’s last tour was a three-day, three-performance tour, “Yonder Come Day,” in Indiana and Ohio.
