Salt Lake Vocal Artists

The Salt Lake Vocal Artists was formed in 2010, providing an opportunity for those in the organization who have professional-level capability to rehearse and perform at the highest level.  SLVA’s inaugural season began with a tour of Spain’s Basque region where the group competed in an international competition, earning first prize awards in every category and a special Audience Favorite award.  This recognition led to invitations for 2011, including an appearance as the only United States choir at the World Choral Symposium in Argentina. In September 2011, SLVA traveled to Italy for another competition, where they once again earned five first prizes.  SLVA performs several times each year throughout the Salt Lake Valley and has released four CD recordings. Repertoire: WILBERG Light Dawns on a Weary World; CONTE The Waking; DICKAU A Song of Joys; NESTOR Peace Prayer of Saint Francis; FINZI My Spirit Sang All Day; LOUNSBROUGH Invocation; STOPFORD The Beatitudes; DAVISON Ritmo; RUNESTAD The Peace of Wild Things; JOHNSON I Love You/What a Wonderful World;  Follow Highway 89 on twitter: @byuh89 and on instagram: @byuh89
