MUSIC IN THE HEART OF SOUTHERN UTAH

ABOUT
Lieto Voices! A Community Choir is a performing and recording choir, now in its 20th year in Washington County.
Lieto is pronounced “lee - EH - toe” and is the Italian word for “glad.” The name represents glad voices joined in song.
Lieto is a strong, vibrant community choir that has the power to change lives through the presentation of the finest choral literature -- including music by local composers -- and provides members of the community an opportunity to further their musical experience by singing in an auditioned choir directed by outstanding local musicians.

PERFORMANCES
Lieto Voices performs four to six times per year. We present Spring, Fall, and Christmas concerts, along with other special performances. For the past several years, Lieto has been the featured choir for the Southwest Symphony’s performances of Handel’s Messiah and Rob Gardner’s Lamb of God. We treasure all of these opportunities to connect with the community and share our love of music. We invite you to join us at our next performance!

Sing With Us
We invite all interested singers to audition with Lieto Voices. We strive to be a well-mixed and balanced choir. As a medium-sized choir, it is important that each voice is capable of supporting and matching the quality of the other vocalists.
If you would like to audition, please contact us through the inquiry form on this page.
Auditions are held as needed per section at the beginning of each concert cycle. Candidates will be invited to attend two consecutive Lieto rehearsals, after which the audition will be held in a small group (quartet or double). If auditions are not needed in a given season, we keep a waiting list for the next season. Our maximum membership is 90 members.
Our concert schedule is moderately aggressive, with about six to ten weeks between performances. We rehearse every Tuesday night from 8:00 to 10:00 pm, and members are expected to attend each rehearsal.
