Caritas is the Twin Cities’ premier avocational vocal ensemble, committed equally to artistic excellence and community service. Through partnerships with nonprofit organizations across the Twin Cities metro, Caritas uses highly refined choral performance to amplify community causes and raise awareness of the vital services these organizations provide. We prepare and perform programs that have a positive impact on people and communities, using music as a tool for connection, empathy, and social good.

Caritas Vocal Ensemble has been pleased to partner with various nonprofit organizations in the Twin Cities metro to support their work. Below you'll find a partial list of the organizations Caritas has showcased at concerts over the past two decades. 

This spring, proceeds from our May 9 concert will be split with Cherish All Children, which works to prevent child exploitation and trafficking. It's a relationship we've cherished for 11 seasons! Learn more about Cherish All Children here and hear a message from their Executive Director on our Home page.

All of our concerts, and our plans for future seasons, take a huge amount of planning by members of our community. For sharing their invaluable kindness and support, time, talents, and facilities, Caritas thanks in particular:
