Exultate - Northern Voice Festival
Exultate is a chamber choir and orchestra founded in 1996 and is the Twin Cities' only professional choir with a self-contained orchestra. The group's normal size is about 45 singers and 22 instrumentalists. Once a year Exultate expands its ranks to become a larger-than-chamber "festival" choir and orchestra.

Program: The Sublime Brilliance of Ola Gjeilo The dynamic young Norwegian, Ola Gjeilo, is a 'rising star' and award-winning choral composer. Gjeilo, then just 30 years old, burst into the choral world in 2008 by employing the lush palate of combined choir and orchestra to give voice to his belief that "people naturally and instinctively want to experience transcendence, resolution and the feeling of redemption, joy and peace that the resolving of discord can yield."
Gjeilo's Ubi Caritas et Amor ("Where there is charity and love") expresses the constant and age-old human longing for love as well as the joyous release found in embracing a unifying God. We follow these sublime expressions with the brilliance of Sunrise: Symphonic Mass for Choir and String Orchestra. Neither expressly sacred nor secular, the four movements of this spiritually uplifting work bind beautiful harmonies and melodic lines with themes of identity, affirmation and our connection to the universe.
