The Kohler High School Voce Ensemble is an auditioned group of 16-24 vocalists. This ensemble sings contemporary pop a cappella music throughout the spring semester. Voce meets weekly and occasionally for an evening or weekend rehearsal. During the spring semester, Voce performs at many events and locations around the Sheboygan area in addition to performances at Kohler Cabaret, Solo & Ensemble and the PAO Auction. Kohler Voce members must be enrolled in high school choir.
To schedule a performance by Voce please contact Eva Stokes at stokese@kohler.k12.wi.us.
After a successful* season in Madrigals or Voce, a member of these ensembles will be invited back for the next season. Returning members will not need to formally audition. A student’s work during a season serves as the audition for the next season. If a student does not have a successful season in either ensemble they may be asked to re-audition or meet with Ms. Stokes to discuss their involvement in the ensemble(s).
*Successful seasons include but are not limited to meaningful participation, music preparedness, positive collaboration, professionalism, reliability and meeting the school’s activity code of conduct.
New students interested in joining Madrigals or Voce will be notified by Ms. Stokes of openings in the ensemble. Openings are based on returning members and graduating seniors.
New students will audition for Madrigals at the end of the school year (May or June) in preparation for the following fall. Students auditioning for Voce will audition in November each year for the following spring season of Voce.
All members of Madrigals or Voce must be enrolled in the High School Concert Choir.
