About Us
Vivace Voices was created to give professional performers and musicians a chance to entertain and provide quality entertainment to Portland and the surrounding area!
The Fireside Carolers was the first group created under the Vivace Voices banner. Since the holidays are such an important and cherished part of our
culture, we created an amazing group of singers that provide all the holiday favorites we all know and love but we do it with our own special style! Sure we have the standard Quartet of singers
available but our signature ensemble provides all of your favorite carols and holiday songs with a jazz twist in eight-part harmony.
Vivace Voices, since its beginnings, has always utilized the versatility of their talented performers. Because of the amazing talent in the Portland area, we have created a variety
of other musical offerings: I Do, I Do Weddings, A Touch of Opera, Cabaret & Musical Theatre Shows and specially designed programs tailor made to individual clientele.
Vivace Voices is always excited and pleased to provide professional entertainment for your pleasure and enjoyment.
