The Jenny Lind Vocal Ensemble is a select treble ensemble for those wishing to develop advanced choral skills and a better understanding of various styles of choral music composed for sopranos and altos. The ensemble’s chosen repertoire — from folk to contemporary, ancient to modern — focuses on moving forward and upward, overcoming challenges and celebrating compassion.
The Jenny Lind Vocal Ensemble performs concerts on campus each term, at community events and on their annual tour. The ensemble’s most recent tour was a three-day, three-performance tour across Missouri and Iowa. In the past they have toured throughout the Midwest, and Montreal, Canada.
In March 2026, The Jenny Lind Vocal Ensemble will embark on a tour of the Pacific Northwest, with a kickoff concert in Chicago, Illinois.
