Choral ensembles are groups of singers who perform together, typically focusing on vocal harmony. These groups can vary in size, ranging from small chamber choirs to large community choirs. They often sing a variety of music styles, including classical, contemporary, and folk, and may perform in different settings such as concerts, competitions, or religious services. Members of choral ensembles usually sing in different vocal parts, such as soprano, alto, tenor, and bass, to create a rich and layered sound. Rehearsals are essential for developing vocal techniques and learning new pieces. Many choral ensembles also participate in events like music festivals and community outreach programs.
