Artisphere is another favorite Greenville, SC event of VMx. The festival, considered as one of the top art festivals nationwide, celebrated its 20th anniversary May 10-12, with 140 artists, concerts and local restaurants. Over the 3 day period VMx members and our friends and family volunteered hundreds of hours as thousands of visitors flooded our downtown streets.
A group from Vocal Matrix visited Crosswell Elementary to introduce a cappella harmony -barbershop style - to a class of young aspiring singers. After we sang a few songs and explained the different voice parts, the students joined in with enthusiasm! Thank you for inviting us into your class.
Vocal Matrix Chorus members love to give back to the communities in Greenville county and around the Upstate. One annual event - Bank of America Fall for Greenville - gives VMx that opportunity. This is the largest free admission food and music festival in the Southeast and was just named #2 in USA Today's Top 10 Best City Food Festivals. A few days ago VMx was recognized for volunteering an impressive 960 hours during the highly successful 3-day Fall For Greenville event. Vocal Matrix is ready to sign up again for this fall - 2024!
What an exciting Region 14 Heart of the Blue Ridge competition! The March 2024 event brought together quartets and chorus from South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia and Virginia. After months of hard work under the direction of Dr. Kimberly Graham, with a dedicated music team and our wonderful coaches, the Upstate's Vocal Matrix Chorus proudly walked away with two medals 2nd place mid-size chorus and 2nd place overall! We sincerely appreciate all the encouragement from our family and friends, and from our generous supporters, The Metropolitan Arts Council and the South Carolina Arts Commission.
A small group of Vocal Matrix singers provided the lively post luncheon entertainment on February 15th for a wonderful gathering at the Senior Action Center of Greenville, SC. RipChords Quartet also sang a few well-known Valentine's love songs and many in the audience joined in. What fun! Thank you to the Senior Action Center for the warm welcome.
Filling the Peace Center lobby with the sounds of this holiday season!
We were honored to welcome patrons of the Peace Center in Greenville, SC with our holiday harmonies.
Vocal Matrix Chorus competed in the Harmony Classic AA Division at the 75th Sweet Adelines International Convention in Louisville Kentucky this past October 31st and came home with a 4th place finish.
The storyline (written by the chorus creative team) centers was around Angel, a young shy puppy whose master had left her at this Happy Harmony Pet Resort while she attends a singing competition. Fifi, Ralph and DC, with the Staff/director and other pets in the resort, help Angel find the confidence to "just be Me".
The 15 minute package included the songs: Running Wild, In the Wee Small Hours, This Joint is Jumping and This is Me.
We are grateful to our families and our friends who come to encourage, support and cheer us on at our dress rehearsal as the chorus prepares for the Harmony Classic competition at the 75th Sweet Adelines International Convention in Louisville, KY in a few weeks.
Thank you to all who supported Vocal Matrix's Cue-the-Music- dinner and musical variety show. This bi-annual fundraiser was especially exciting for our chorus as it is our first live indoor performance since the pandemic forced us to take a long break.
