FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • Do I need to audition to join this choir?
    Nope! Vox Veritatis is a non-audition choir. We believe that music should be accessible to everyone who is interested in learning and participating. Never sung before? You're welcome here! Sing at state level choir competitions? We want you too!
  • I can't read music. Can I still join?
    Short answer- yes! Long answer- Vox Veritatis utilizes a variety of teaching methods in order to include everyone in the process of making music. Traditional scores are available, but we will also utilize learning track so you can listen and learn by ear. If you need extra assistance, our directors will work with you individually, or pair you with someone else in the choir who has a little more experience to help you out.
  • What kind of music do you perform?
    We perform a dynamic mix of music styles, with a special emphasis on prioritizing women, living composers, and composers of color. Our repertoire spans classical, jazz, and pop genres, often presenting a diverse range within a single performance. Beyond the music itself, our group is dedicated to fostering a sense of community, family, and purpose. We actively commission new works from underrepresented groups, ensuring that our performances not only entertain but also contribute to a richer, more inclusive cultural tapestry.
  • When do you rehearse?
    Vox has regular rehearsals Monday evenings from 6:30-8:30 pm in Heart of Northside, 4222 Hamilton Ave, Cincinnati, OH 45223. These rehearsals are for Vox Veritatis members only. For our collaboration on Carmina Burana, we have additional rehearsals on Sunday afternoons from 4-6pm in First Lutheran Church, 1208 Race St, Cincinnati, OH 45202. These rehearsals include all other local choirs and orchestras working together on this piece.
  • Where do you rehearse and is there parking?
    We rehearse in Heart of Northside at 4222 Hamilton Ave, Cincinnati, OH 45223. There is limited parking behind the building and there are accessible spots. Northside has other pay parking lots and street parking available. Bus routes that will get you close to the building include 15X and 17 (Hamilton Ave stops between Chase and Pullman).
  • Can I come to rehearsals and performances if I use mobility aids?
    Absolutely! Accessibility is a cornerstone of our organization. Our rehearsal space is ADA compliant so anyone can participate, regardless of mobility needs! If you need other accommodations, please reach out to us directly so we can work with you to make sure you have everything you need to thrive in Vox!
  • Do you really offer childcare during rehearsals?
    Yes, we really do! As part of our efforts to be accessible and inclusive to all, we remove the barrier of participation for parents through affordable childcare. One of our founders is a single working parent and knows just how isolating being a parent can feel. All members of Vox Veritatis are welcome to utilize our childcare services during rehearsal, regardless of what level of dues they pay. Just be sure to let us know you need it when you register!
  • Why do you have a sliding dues scale?
    Economic accessibility is key part of our Access, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion strategic plan. Our varying levels of dues are structured to allow anyone who wants to participate access to a musical experience. Did you just lose your job? Are you paying off debt? We don't believe these things should prevent you from socializing and being a part of your community. All members have access to all benefits of membership, regardless of the level of dues they pay.
