Vox Panacea

VOX PANACEA

PHYSICIAN CHOIR

We are thrilled to announce our 2023-2024 Season for Vox Panacea In-Person Choir, a non-audition choir for treble voices (Soprano/Alto). Singers will learn beautiful, accompanied choral music with a focus on fun-filled, pop repertoire, and occasional forays into other diverse genres, specifically selected for the unique voices and skills of the group.  Singers will also learn vocal technique and musicianship through engaging games and exercises.

Vox Panacea began as an online choir under the direction of Pippa Andrew during the pandemic as a way for physicians to destress after a long day. Since its inception in 2019, Vox Panacea has produced more than a dozen virtual choir video projects, performed at numerous concerts with Phoenix Chamber Choir, and performed live at the Canadian Women In Medicine Conference in June 2022.

A little behind the name: “Panacea” is the Greek goddess of universal remedy, daughter of Asclepius (God of Medicine) and Epione (personification of the care needed for recovery). “Vox” of course is Latin for voice or “voice of the people.”
