Voce...
"Northern Virginia's premier choral ensemble" Voce's
Mission: Voce is under the direction of Dr. Kenneth Nafziger and is recognized as one of the Washington area's premier chamber choral groups, earning high praise from The Washington Post and others. Voce's 22 choral artists annually perform a diverse concert series featuring chamber choral music from all over the globe, from early chant to newly commissioned works. Founded in 1989, Voce has performed at the Kennedy Center, Williamsburg's Bruton Parish, and St. Thomas More Cathedral, as well as with the Washington Symphony and the Amadeus Orchestra. Voce was nominated for the Governor's Awards for the Arts 2000 in the Commonwealth of Virginia, and was honored at the Arts Council of Fairfax County's 'A Call to the Arts Celebration 2001.' Voce has been featured as a 'best bet' on WETA-TV's "About Town" broadcast television program, and was the subject of a half-hour worldwide radio broadcast on Voice of America's "Kaleidoscope" radio program in April 2000. "Superior
choral musicmaking.... taut musical line and masterful blend....
this ensemble has it all together." "Voce
has established a solid reputation not only for the quality of its
performances but also for the ingenuity and imagination with which
its programs are selected...The chorus exemplified a special kind
of beauty." "The
singers under Kenneth Nafziger's direction were precise and well
blended....the chorus sang beautifully...." "The
ensemble sang sensitively, and its employment of dynamic nuance
helped give melodic lines a distinguished and ethereal sense of
lightness and grace."
