About Us

A Legacy of Leadership

History

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.

In 2024, after sixteen seasons of life-changing music for middle- and high-school trebles, Spirito welcomed 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!
