JOIN OUR LIST

Started at the beginning of the pandemic in an effort to stay connected with choral fans and share the healing beauty of choral music, Voices of Ascension continues to share choral moments with a new global audience. Many of these moments come from our own archive of professional and live recordings and some also come from guest choirs from distant lands as we celebrate the vast diversity of worldwide choral traditions.


The Voices of Connection blog of choral moments has embarked on an expansion. We have invited guest curators to join us in this special project so that we may all benefit from their unique tastes and perspectives with respect to choral music. Recent curators include Bob Lee, Malcolm J. Merriweather, Cecilia Rydinger, Bora Yoon, Jennifer Jolley, Gilda Lyons, Renée Favand-See, Sebastián Zubieta, James Bassi, Francisco J. Núñez and Melissa Bybee.
