Where Every Voice Belongs
Whether you’ve been singing in the shower, harmonizing with friends, or dreaming of joining a chorus, Vocal Matrix is a place where your passion for music truly matters. Our warm, diverse group of women welcomes singers of all skill levels who want to experience the pure joy of singing together, connect with new friends, and shine on stage. We invite you to discover the thrill of harmonizing in a supportive and uplifting community.
We are students, mothers, grandmothers, professionals, retirees, and dreamers. Together we are bold in song. We are Vocal Matrix.
Vocal Matrix Chorus embraces women whose common purpose is to share their joy of singing and performing. Since 2005, the chorus has provided high quality a cappella barbershop harmony performances to local civic, educational, and corporate audiences in Upstate South Carolina.
We regularly perform at community events, seasonal shows and competitions, as well as provide the highlight entertainment for nursing homes and assisted living centers' special gatherings. The next time you have a large or small event, consider hiring Vocal Matrix Chorus for a unique musical experience.
Vocal and performance instruction is a regular part of weekly chorus rehearsals and an integral part of our chorus experience. Our director, Dr. Kimberly Graham is a highly degreed educator and along with her music team continues to challenge the chorus at each rehearsal. We are also very fortunate to have master coaches visit our chorus several times a year. These world class masters of barbershop harmony share their amazing experience in vocal and visual techniques, which will propel us further on our journey to musical excellence.
Through its youth outreach, the chorus offers performance opportunities to high school students. The past few years the annual shows included Camp VMx and Barbershop Through the Ages and Sing For Scholarship Program. Stay tuned for exciting new programs for youth in the near future!
