Voices of Spirit – National Performance and International Tour!

Who We Are

Duquesne University’s premier choral ensemble, Voices of Spirit, is composed of undergraduate students in music education, performance, therapy and technology at the Mary Pappert School of Music. Under the leadership of Caron Daley since 2015, the choir has appeared on Pittsburgh’s most prestigious concert series, given concerts in Johnstown, Cleveland, Erie, Buffalo, and Philadelphia, and performed with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra under Manfred Honeck.

Committed to community outreach, the choir frequently performs in schools, workshops, and conducting masterclasses, including the 2018 Eastern Division ACDA conducting masterclasses.

In November 2019, the choir was selected to perform at the National Collegiate Choral Organization Conference in College Park, Maryland.

Why We Are Crowdfunding

Voices of Spirit is taking their talents on the road in 2019-20 -- TWICE!

  • First, Voices of Spirit has been invited to perform at the National Collegiate Choral Organization’s National Conference, to be held in College Park, Maryland, November 6-8, 2019. The choir was selected through a competitive national audition process, and is one of only nine choral ensembles invited to perform.
  • Second, the choir will tour Canada (Ontario and Quebec) from February 28 – March 4! This is the choir's first international tour in over a decade!  Students will perform in some of Canada's most prestigious venues in Toronto and Montreal.

The expenses associated with touring typically place an extra financial burden on our students. Your gift can take that burden off our students. Donations will help to help offset the costs of:

  • Transportation
  • Hotel Accommodations
  • Meals

Please Donate Today and Spread the Word About Our Campaign!

We hope you will decide to make a gift today so that our voices can represent Duquesne University! Another way to help is by sharing our page – www.spirit.duq.edu/voices19 – with alumni, family, friends and on social media.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION & SUPPORT!
