Sing Omaha

Eclectica

Eclectica is an auditioned choir designed to meet the needs of working adults. This ensemble seeks to provide an artistic outlet for adults who enjoy high-quality choral music, while maintaining a keen awareness of the demands that work and family can place on our schedules.

Eclectica, as its name suggests, is made up of an eclectic group of people from all professional and educational backgrounds, and performs a wide variety of styles from season to season. The social nature of this ensemble makes the learning experience enjoyable, without sacrificing artistic quality.

Eclectica is ideal for current or former high school, college, church and community choir singers who love ‘being in a choir’ as much as they love choral music.

ABOUT THE DIRECTOR

Matt Hill founded Sing Omaha in February, 2007 with the desire to grow and strengthen the choral community in the Omaha-metro area.

As a member of Canticum Novum (now Canticum, the professional adult choir for Sing Omaha) from 2000 – 2006, Matt served as the Baritone section leader, and student conductor. With the departure of Canticum’s founder, Dr. Z. Randall Stroope, for Rowan in NJ in the summer of 2006, Matt took the podium as the group’s Artistic Director and enjoyed a fantastic season with this select adult ensemble.

Matt studied applied voice, choral conducting and composition with Dr. Stroope. He also studied piano and composition with Jackson Berkey and Dr. James Johnson.

Matt works as a choral arranger, specializing in custom show choir shows and performs frequently as a pianist and vocalist for weddings and other special events.

Since 2000, he has performed as both a chorister and soloist with numerous Omaha-area ensembles including: Opera Omaha, the University of Nebraska at Omaha Concert Choir, the Omaha Chamber Singers, and Canticum.

As the Executive & Artistic Director of Sing Omaha, Matt is focused on living out the motto of Sing Omaha: “To inspire passionate musicianship and artistic excellence while focusing on people first.”
