Hi friends!  Welcome to our Young Voices website.  This organization is the culmination of my lifelong dream...to bring together children across our region to share music and life together!  Our first four years (2018-2022 were better than I could have ever imagined!  To be able to work with and know so many music-loving, heart-giving, hard-working young men and women is an experience that I'll cherish for a lifetime!  We've had the opportunity to make many wonderful memories so far!  Our first season (2018-2019) together was unforgettable, culminating with a trip to San Antonio, TX!  Our second singing season (2019-2020) ended abruptly due to the Corona pandemic, which of course disappointed all of us.  But we had a wonderful fall semester, and a gorgeous Christmas concert with other fun performance and service opportunities as Christmas.  We had to cancel our Spring 2020 Festival trip to Nashville but thankfully we were able to travel during our third season (2020-2021)!  We traveled to Nashville, TN May 27-30, 2021, and had an absolutely magical, musical time!  We embarked on our biggest season ever last year, which ended with a trip to Anaheim, CA where we competed in the national Heritage Choral Music Festival and received a Silver ranking! There are many more *meaningful musical memories* to be made during 2022-2023 season, including another annual trip this spring!  We hope you will join us!😍😍😍  

I love the kids of NELA and I love music!  Our group would love for YOU to join us this year!  More information about our upcoming 2022-2023 singing season will be posted on our website and Facebook page soon.  In the meantime, please feel free to email, message, call, or text me with any questions you may have.

Hope you’ll join me❤️🎶.
