Where the tenors at? 👀

Like every choir in the world… we need more tenors. 😅🎶

GraceNote Collective auditions are coming up May 28–30, and we’d love to hear from more tenor voices ready to join a community gospel choir rooted in excellence, connection, and joy.

If you’ve got that tenor range, come sing with us!
If you know a tenor, gently pressure them in the comments. 😁
