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!

THANK YOU to everyone (audience & chorus alike) for making our Holiday concerts an overwhelming success!
