This weekend, Jocelyn Lee and Cadence Hofer are participating in the Morningside University Vocal Arts Festival in Sioux City! The festival provides advanced instruction in choral performance and vocal technique, along with opportunities to collaborate with a prominent living composer. Students prepare and perform exceptional choral literature and attend masterclasses focused on voice-specific topics. A select group of students—including Jocelyn and Cadence—were chosen to receive solo voice instruction from Morningside’s esteemed voice faculty. ⭐ Even more exciting, Jocelyn is a semifinalist to sing a solo in the Monday night concert! We’ll find out tomorrow if she has been selected as one of the three soloists. This year’s composer-in-residence is Kyle Pederson, a nationally and internationally recognized composer from the Minneapolis, MN area. The festival choir—made up over 200 students from Iowa, South Dakota, and Nebraska—will perform on Monday, January 12 at 7:00 PM at the Eppley Auditorium. We are so proud of Jocelyn and Cadence for representing our program!
