About Voices Chorale NJ
Voices Chorale NJ is an auditioned chorus of about 50 members from New Jersey and
Pennsylvania, several of whom sang together in the original Voices Chorale. Dr. Lyn Ransom founded Voices Chorale thirty-four years ago to bring outstanding music to the public, inspire audiences, and provide performance opportunities for skilled singers. Their varied repertoire included music from across the eras and around the world, masterworks, and premieres by American composers.
Over the years, the organization sponsored an annual Young Composers Project to encourage young musicians ages 5-12 to compose music and lyrics. Voices Chorale collaborated with diverse groups, including the Trenton Children's Choir, The Absalom Jones inspirational Choir of Trinity Cathedral in Trenton, NJ, and the Princeton High School Choir. Voices Chorale also performed outreach concerts at senior residences in the greater Princeton area.
During the 2018-2019 season, Voices Chorale NJ grew its membership and received non-profit status to offer its members and the community the same high-quality musical experiences and educational opportunities. Under the direction of Dr. David A. McConnell, the group had very successful Christmas concerts in December 2018 and 2019, and performed a concert of varied musical interpretations of Shakespearean texts in May 2019.
As did many groups, Voices had to pause from rehearsing in March 2020 due to the pandemic. We perservered together and continued to enjoy our music and each other's company over the internet! In Fall 2020 and Spring 2021 we offered members and the public online classes in vocal technique and choral music history, and we held intimate online concerts by masterful performers.
Fall 2021 - we're rehearsing in person again! Please see our Home page for information about our upcoming Winter Holiday Concert, which will have an in-person attendance option and an online streaming option. Hope to see you soon whichever way you choose to join us!
