VOICES concerts provide a mix of old and new music and solo, small group and large group experiences. Join us!
Are you too
busy to sing? Our members find our rehearsals and performances to be a
special time for ourselves. Making music together, even in its most energetic
moments, creates an "oasis of spirit" which we take with us for days; it
re-energizes us and re-focuses us on enjoying and valuing the things that are
most important in life.
"Come sing with VOICES!"

SUMMER SINGS
Watch this space for announcements for our summer 2012 open sings!

This summer we will offer singing nights in Hopewell, New Jersey, and in Wrightstown, Pennsylvania. Soloists, pianists, conductors and printed music are provided, or singers may bring their own. Music is followed by an "ice cream social." All facilities are wheelchair accessible. There is a suggested donation of $5.00 at the door.

VOICES was founded in 1987
to provide outstanding performances of new and classical music and to interest
children in composing and singing. VOICES Chorale, an auditioned chorus with
members from New Jersey and Pennsylvania, was founded in 1992 to provide
outstanding performance opportunities for community singers. (See
A Short History of VOICES.) The Chorale performs an
unusually varied repertoire, including
choral masterworks and premieres by American composers. Our Music Director is
Dr. Lyn Ransom. Our Associate Conductor is Andrew Monath. VOICES is pleased to welcome Camilla Jarnot as our principal pianist.
 VOICES rehearsing at Music Together, Hopewell,

VOICES performs six to
eight formal concerts and several
outreach concerts for retirement communities each year in Mercer County, New
Jersey and Bucks County, Pennsylvania. VOICES has appeared with major orchestras, including the Pittsburgh Symphony, the New Jersey Pops, Riverside Symphonia, and Princeton Symphony Orchestra. The group has performed in
New York City and has toured internationally three times, with our most recent tour, to
Bavaria and northern Italy, in the
spring of 2007. Our current membership is over 65 singers, including a 24
member chamber ensemble called Sotto Voce. Our rehearsals intersperse historical information and interpretive skills with the disciplined practice essential to fine performance. We usually rehearse Monday nights
from 7:30-9:45 pm at
Music Together's International Headquarters in Hopewell, New
Jersey.
VOICES also has a variety of programs of interest
for: children and their
teachers, performers,
and the community.
