Vasa Voices is a community choir specializing in Swedish folksongs as a way of preserving and enjoying the rich Swedish musical heritage.  They meet weekly on Monday nights from 7:30-9:00 p.m. at Church of the Saviour, 2537 Lee Road in Cleveland Hts, (1 block north of Fairmount Blvd.)  Although 95% of their music is sung in Swedish you do not need to know the language to join the group.  However, a good ear for languages and an interest in Swedish culture would be helpful.  They are a member of the American Union of Swedish Singers and they sing 2 major concerts a season as well as for occasional other cultural events. Upcoming performances include the 100th Anniversary Celebration of the Nobel-Monitor Vasa Lodge as well as an invitation to perform at the Scandinavian Festival in Jamestown, NY. 

Their  director is Judith Higbee who holds both her undergraduate degree in Music Education/Voice and her master's degree in choral conducting from Westminster Choir College in Princeton, NJ. Judith is in her 13th year as full-time  Director of Music at Church of the Saviour in Cleveland Heights whose music ministry includes 10 choirs in three worship services plus an active Arts in the Cathedral program.
