Voices Chorale NJ Summer Sing, Social and Auditions!

VCNJ invites all singers to join us for an open summer sing featuring excerpts from our upcoming 2023-2024 repertoire including Saint-Saens’ Christmas Oratorio and Haydn’s Lord Nelson Mass. Scores will be provided, and light refreshments will be served.

Monday, August 21, 7:30 PM
Music Together Worldwide Headquarters
225 Pennington-Hopewell Rd, Hopewell, NJ
Open to the public ~~~ Free! (donations welcome)

It’s an opportunity for singers to practice sight-reading, meet our director, Dr. David A. McConnell, and learn some fascinating history and context about the compositions. Meet other singers and consider setting up an audition to join us.

Those interested in joining Voices Chorale NJ may audition that evening by contacting Paula Mirabile: [email protected]. All voice parts are welcome to audition, but tenors and bass/baritones are especially encouraged to audition.

Dr. David A. McConnell, Artistic Director of Voices Chorale NJ, founded Vox Philia in 2012, a chamber choir comprised of professional and gifted amateur singers, and co-founded the Berks Sinfonietta chamber orchestra in 2014, both of which feature an intergenerational approach. Dr. McConnell teaches music courses at Pennsylvania State University, Berks Campus, and Alvernia University in Reading, PA. He received his Doctor of Musical Arts degree from the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music.

Voices Chorale NJ is an auditioned intergenerational chorus with members from throughout central New Jersey and Eastern Pennsylvania. Under the direction of Dr. David A. McConnell, who assumed leadership in August of 2018, Voices Chorale NJ performed concerts in 2018 and 2019 and then again in 2021, 2022 and 2023. Dr. Lyn Ransom founded Voices in 1987. Voices Chorale NJ carries that legacy forward with its mission to inspire audiences with outstanding

music, performance opportunities for skilled singers, and musical education opportunities for youth and adults.
