These performers are usually alumni of the TOI program and/or are already singing professionally. This group performs solos and ensembles all over the Taos region in many diverse venues. Though they perform separately from the TOI participants, they also take part in the classes offered, the trip to Santa Fe Opera, and the Gala Finale Evening.
