Polyphony: Voices of New Mexico’s educational outreach programming strives to promote and improve the life-long performance, understanding and appreciation of ensemble singing. All full time high school and college students are admitted to our events for FREE.
Our annual A Children’s Messiah project seeks to serve young singers and students of all ages and levels of experience as they perform movements of this masterpiece alongside professional singers from PVNM. Audience members are encouraged to participate as they feel comfortable.
Information on how to JOIN the CHORUS for our 10th annual Children's Messiah event can be found HERE.
PVNM partners with the annual Vocal Artistry Art Song Festival by supporting, through a $575 scholarship, a gifted and talented young soloist. These young artists are then encouraged to participate in PVNM events, concerts, and educational workshops, and help to promote Polyphony’s mission.
As part of the organization's commitment to education, each year Polyphony does its very best to include auditioned, talented, and promising high school students as part of its vocal rosters. They are known as Choral Scholars.
