OVation is the portable version of One Voice—a small ensemble of
eight singers that can bring our music and our message almost
anywhere. Over the course of the year, OVation presents roughly 10
performances, with One Voice or on its own, at venues ranging from
the Minnesota State Fair, Pride, the Minnesota Arboretum… even the
Minnesota Liver Foundation!
One of the singers’ favorite gigs is personalized performances
delivered by phone. Each year OVation honors Valentine’s Day and
Pride by performing live serenades. These “singing telegrams” are a
big hit with our supporters, too:
“I just had to tell you what a wonderful experience I had sending
one of your singing Val-o-grams to my niece. First, thank you for
offering non-romantic songs so I could send her a day brightener! I
chose Everything Possible and she LOVED it! She had sung the
song at a women’s group camp through her church a few years back,
and it just unleashed a flood of wonderful emotions. My niece was
just in tears the whole time and blesses you all, over and over
again!”
