Why Viva Voices? The Cincinnati metro area has many wonderful choral organizations. We are different, in that we strive to provide a choral experience that is affordable, multi-generational, diverse, and high quality. Our organization includes choirs for elementary-age children through adulthood, under the umbrella of one organization. We strive to share the love of the life-enriching art of choral music with people of all ages – creating a life-long choral “home” for area singers. And because our vision is to celebrate song that addresses the common aspirations of our diverse world, we will offer themed series that provide unique performances, venues, and topics of interest. The great choral conductor Robert Shaw once said, “...music is not a luxury but a necessity...it is the persistent focus of man’s intelligence, aspiration, and good will.” We believe that music has the power to connect people -- in its performance, in its messages, and in its ability to inspire and uplift. And by connecting multiple ages, multiple audiences and common themes, we bring a unique approach to choral singing in our community. President/Artistic Director
