About Us
The Birth of Extraordinary
With passion, dedication, and ambitious vision, Molly Lindberg started Spirito Singers in 2008, creating a youth chorus of the highest caliber. From the very beginning, Spirito set out to train treble singers using challenging repertoire as the basis of an excellent education.
Spirito began with Bravura, made up of 50 high school treble singers. The following year, Spirito added the Ragazze ensemble for 5th – 8th grade singers. The Spirito treble ensembles have since performed around the country, and have been praised for their beautiful tone and joyful performances.
The Spirito organization is also proud to include the Men of Spirito. At its founding, many Men of Spirito were fathers or grandfathers of singers. Now, its members hail from all walks of life, and relish the opportunity to perform varied repertoire in an intergenerational setting.
In 2024, after sixteen seasons of life-changing music for middle- and high-school trebles, Spirito is thrilled to welcome younger singers to our choirs with the addition of Forte. Open to 2nd-4th grade singers, Forte provides top-tier vocal training in weekly rehearsals that emphasize teamwork, musicianship, and fun!
