USF FESTIVAL OF VOICES

About the Festival

The USF Festival of Voices, now in its eighth season, is an outreach program for local and regional high school choral students. Patterned after the popular USF Festival of Winds, the Festival of Voices is a premier honors choir experience for promising young choral musicians.

The Festival of Voices offers two choirs for student participants:  Festival Mixed Chorus under the direction of USF Director of Choral Activities, Dr. Richard Zielinski, and Festival Women's Chorus directed by USF Coordinator for Choral Music Education, Dr. Lynne Gackle.

The Festival Mixed Chorus is joined by the USF Chamber Singers and the Festival Women's Chorus will be joined by the USF Bel Canto Women's Chorus giving Festival participants a unique opportunity to sing along side with USF collegiate singers.

The Festival Choirs will also perform combined with The Master Chorale of Tampa Bay.
