Coterie: An Evening with Beautiful Voices


Had a wonderful time this past Tuesday night filming a segment with "Coterie," an 11-member vocal ensemble from Louisville for Episode 6. The group began performing in 1989; they are just astonishing. I've never known a more solid group of voices coming together to create a perfect pitch of sound. Coterie also has been in demand for performances with other ensembles, such as Ars Femina, Voces Novae, and the Commonwealth Chorale. The group has been featured on a nationally televised video “Christmas card” on Presbyterian Survey, a magazine-format program produced by the Presbyterian Church U.S.A. In 2003, Coterie spent nine days touring England and Scotland, performing concerts in Ely Cathedral; in Holy Trinity Church, the burial place of William Shakespeare in Stratford-upon-Avon; in St. Giles Cathedral; and outdoors at Princes Garden in Edinburgh. With styles ranging from Renaissance to modern pop, Coterie delivers vocal music with style and humor.
