Where Every Voice is Welcome!
|
The mission of Every Voice Choirs is to promote the musical and personal growth of youth by helping them discover their voices and share them with pride. We seek to build on students' unique musical interests and experiences, creating ensembles shaped by their diverse members, in which every voice is welcome and every voice truly matters.
At EVC we encourage and empower children to sing themselves and to be proud of their identity, culture, and community. With the belief that Every Voice Can Shine, we are one of the only children's choirs in New York City that does not require a vocal audition to join. Everyone who makes a commitment to participate fully is welcome to join our core choirs. EVC offers three choral programs for kids at Columbia University Teachers College: The Every Voice Kids Choir (ages 7-10) and the Every Voice Youth Choir (ages 10-14) are our core choirs. Singers seeking more rigorous choral experience may audition for the Every Voice Concert Choir, our professional performing ensemble. We sing music in diverse styles in a wide range of settings, with recent performances ranging from sporting events to two world premieres of works at Carnegie Hall. In our concerts, as in our rehearsals, we aspire to reflect and educate on themes of social justice. EVC rehearsals are held at Teachers College, Columbia University in New York City, and are led by Music Director, Dr. Nicole Becker with Voice Specialist Dr. Jeanne Goffi-Fynn and Graduate in Choral Pedagogy from Teachers College.
