Snow Angel takes flight!

Thanks to all of our patrons for making a great first show of our 2011-2012 season. Extra special thanks to all our volunteers.  We couldn’t have done it without you. Thanks to our local composers, musicians and actors who helped create an incredible show.

With Univox’s tremendous growth this season, this was the first concert for many of our performers, so it was fantastic to have a so many friends and family in the audience cheering us on. The concert will soon be available for download right at this site (the Music link in the top navigation bar) and the best way to our music is to become a patron.

In the meantime you can download our concert program (designed and created by the wonderful Selena Wong).  Univox Concert Program Dec 2011

If you’re excited about joining Univox, we are still looking for male singers, but sadly sopranos and altos are likely to be placed on a waiting list so we can maintain the ratio of men to women. Bring your tenor and bass friends out to sing with us!
