vocal ensemble
Harmonizing singers together
A vocal ensemble is a group of singers performing together, typically without instrumental accompaniment or with minimal backing.
The term covers everything from small a cappella groups to larger choirs, emphasizing the blend of voices rather than solo performance: The vocal ensemble rehearsed madrigals every Tuesday.
