“I attended choral events all over the country. I have been
entertained, moved, bored… One Voice's commission,
Definition Suite, was one of the most important commissions that
I have seen in the past ten years. It was unique and spoke to the
youth generation. It was incredibly powerful to hear a 19-year-old
stand up and tell older people something in a way they have never
heard before.”

One Voice has discovered that a great way to share our mission
through music is to create the music ourselves. Or, at least to work
with a talented composer! We’re proud that over our two decades
