Artists in Residence

Sometimes after Prima Vox rehearsal, Ann, Sara and I sit in the post-singing glow and dream. Big.

And many of our big dreams have come true. Like building our repertoire to the point of giving our own concert. Like having groups and venues asking US to perform rather than us always searching THEM out. Like having our own wardrobe mistress and makeup artist (ok, that's still in the works...)

But one dream we thought would never happen: "Wouldn't it be great if we could be artists in residence somewhere...someday?"

Then, out of the blue, my friend Richard Tostenson called me. His church, The Church of the Holy Communion in St. Peter, was proposing a collaboration which would make us...artists in residence.

"Yes," chorused the Voxes.

We now have our own dedicated rehearsal and performance space. We have regular services to participate and perform in. An Evensong service and commissioning rite to prepare for. Anglican chants and responsorials to perfect.

The natural habitat of the Voxes:
Church of the Holy Communion in St. Peter.

Dreams are good.
