Corey Rheault
TENOR
My singing adventure began when my parents needed to have their Tuesday and Thursday evenings free for bowling league. They enrolled me in the Red River Boys Choir in Fargo North Dakota when I was 6 years old, and the rest is history. Since then I have been singing in choirs or small groups whenever I can. I grew up in Moorhead, Minnesota and spent most of my childhood through high school singing in school choir and church choir. I spent 9 summers doing musical theater with the Gooseberry Park Players, a children's theater group for kids from 4th grade through high school. I was a member of my high school's first chamber choir when I was a senior, which was experimental that first year and was picked up as regular curriculum afterwards. It opened my eyes to more challenging choral music. I attended college at Concordia in Moorhead Minnesota, and sang in various choirs and small groups throughout my time there, working under many great professors including Rene Clausen.
I never quite grasped music theory, however, and changed my major after my first year of studies from music to classical studies. I received the best advice from Dr. Clausen after doing this; he told me that not everyone is destined to have a life in music but everyone deserves to have music in their life, and I have lived by that statement ever since. I continue to sing wherever and whenever I can. I have spent the last 6 years singing with the Colorado Chorale, and sing in 3 different choirs at church. I am looking forward to the opportunity of singing with Voices of Light, and I am looking forward to the next 20 years of my life, sharing the choral music experience with anyone and everyone wherever I may go.
