vocal ensembles
Harmonizing voice collectives
Vocal ensembles are groups of singers performing together, from small chamber groups to large choirs.
The term encompasses everything from barbershop quartets to a cappella groups to church choirs.
Unlike a soloist with backup singers, an ensemble implies roughly equal musical roles among the voices: The concert featured several vocal ensembles from local schools.
