Founded in 2006 by Mark Singleton, Artistic Director and Tom Cooke, President, Voce has grown to be the premier choral ensemble throughout New England. With an initial concept of giving and education, Voce continues to bring new works to a wide range of audiences, and collaborates with middle school, high school and collegiate ensembles to further develop the next generation of choral artists. Voce’s commitment to harmony has caught the attention of some of the world’s greatest living choral composers, including National Medal of Arts Recipient Morten Lauridsen, Ola Gjeilo, Ēriks Ešenvalds and Paul Mealor. Voce’s sound is a direct result of Mark Singleton’s uncompromising commitment to the service of harmony. Singleton challenges each singer in the ensemble to “serve harmony, evoke its spirit and free yourself of discord. Dedicate yourself to your ensemble, your section and your neighbor. Be the embodiment of cooperation. Listen, connect and fulfill your duty to the music, the team and all those who hear you. Such is the substance of greatness – such is the foundation of harmony.” Voce’s music is built on this creed, which begins every Voce rehearsal and resonates throughout every performance. The result is a uniquely welcoming experience for singers and audience members alike. Through harmony, our differences can be used to make music more beautiful and inclusive than anything we can do on our own.
