Audivi - Detroit’s Professional Vocal Ensemble Concert

Friday, January 24, 2025 at 7 p.m. in the Sanctuary
Penn Street Arts is excited to present Audivi Choir, a professional vocal ensemble based in Detroit, Michigan, on Friday, January 24 at 7 p.m. in the Sanctuary. Audivi celebrates its tenth season as a professional vocal ensemble based in Detroit, Michigan. Performing music of all eras, Audivi has appeared at conventions and festivals including ACDA Central and North Central conventions, the AGO New England convention, and several tours. Equally at home with familiar and unusual repertoire, the professional singers frequently perform one-on-a-part, and present music rarely heard from other ensembles. Audivi has brought in Baroque specialist instrumentalists for Detroit-area historical-performance premieres of Monteverdi’s 1610 Vespers and Bach’s Mass in B minor. The singers in the group perform with top ensembles around the world. Many of the singers also have successful conducting careers of their own, and one of the co-founders now serves as music director for Chanticleer.
