Voices Rising is the only intergenerational community chorus in Gainesville, Florida.
Our singers are adults and youth ages 8 and up. Our repertoire ranges from classical to folk to show tunes. When we sing, magic happens!

Message from our President

Dear Friends of Voices Rising Community Chorus,
​
The chorus, with a unanimous vote of our board, decided to suspend rehearsals and the spring concert until the threat of COVID-19 is lifted.

It is our plan to resume rehearsals and sing for our wonderful audiences as soon as we can. Our chorus members are still practicing at home, staying in touch, and very much want to get back to singing.

We do not have a date to restart rehearsals and we are not sure whether our spring concert will be this year or next. We do know that we will perform the concert we have been planning and are staying in touch with our venue contacts.
 
Please look for future emails for updates. We hope you and yours are staying safe and healthy, and we thank you for your continued support.

​We will rise again!
Jan Tucci
Board President
