Nove Voce is Italian for "nine voices"
The Nove Voce Choral Society was formed in 2005 by a small group of Robin Norman's accomplished voice students. The initial group started as volunteers for the Salvation Army's Christmas Kettle Campaign, singing carols in various locations, and raising over $1,000.
Evolving from this small group, the choir has grown to at least twice the size (season membership varies). We perform a regular choral season, as well as sing for charity and community events, paid gigs, and collaborations with local and regional performers.
