vocal solos

Unaccompanied singing performances

Vocal solos are musical performances featuring a single singer, often accompanied by instruments but with the voice as the central element.

The term appears most frequently in concert programs, recitals, and church services: The evening featured several vocal solos from the choir's lead soprano.

In competitions and auditions, a vocal solo showcases individual talent without the support of other voices.
