What is Conexa?

The name “Conexa” means “to connect.” Singers will--

  • connect with music– varied, beautiful, and fun music chosen with attention to meaning and message, healthy singing techniques, and musicianship 

  • connect with other youth– ensembles will build unity in their own rehearsals then come together with other locations and ensembles for concerts

  • connect with the community– performing choral music is an opportunity to share our messages and skills with friends and family
