House Blend

House Blend formed in 2006 when a group of experienced singers, many of whom had been singing together for years, decided to try something new - a democratic leadership style in which any member can be a conductor and/or present new material to the group.
The experiment has succeeded, and House Blend is now almost eight years old, evolving as membership has changed slightly over time. Currently composed of twenty singing addicts, the infectious welcoming energy of House Blend engages the audience with a passion for the music they sing: songs of joy, love, beauty, romance, spirit, reverence, strength, community and humor.Their diverse repertoire includes songs from American folk traditions such as spirituals, soulful gospel numbers, hill songs of Appalachia, and jazz, as well as lush Italian and Spanish ballads, work songs from the Republic of Georgia, South African freedom songs, village music of Italy, France, Quebec, as well as Renaissance madrigals, Jewish choral tradition, contemporary Latin chant and Bach.
House Blend returned to the Loire region of France in July 2013 for another successful exchange with their sister chorus, "Cantoria". The concert at Next Stage's will include some of the newest songs from the concerts in France, as well as many of House Blend's favorites.
