Irish singer Gerry Dignan

Guest artist Gerry Dignan, called a troubadour for our times, has been moving international audiences with his heartful, spirit-filled voice for many years. Dedicated to keeping the traditional Celtic songs alive, he is especially adept at ballads and fast Irish "mouth music." He frequently performs in Ireland as well as throughout the U.S. Additional information on Mr. Dignan and his music can be found at www.gerrydignan.com.

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!

If you or someone you know is a singer with some music reading skills, please join us for informal read-throughs of choral masterworks. 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 Assistant Conductor is Andrew Monath. VOICES is pleased to welcome Jack Cleghorn as our principal pianist beginning with our 2011-2012 season.

VOICES rehearsing at Music Together, Hopewell, NJ

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.
