Voices Alive

Join Us

Voices Alive Choir is a fun, inclusive choir for women. There are no auditions, no experience needed, no judgment, and no reading of music. We learn from recorded tracks. We sing a dynamic variety of music from many different genres including pop, folk, jazz, country and indie alternative, spanning many decades.

Our choir season has wrapped up for the summer. Thank you for a wonderful year of music and community. We’ll be back singing together in September.

"I am so grateful for the Voices Alive Choir ♫
Not just because singing collectively releases my endorphins and promotes positive feelings.
Not just because singing enhances my lung function.
Not just because singing helps improve my mental alertness by delivering more oxygenated blood to my brain.
Not just because learning songs improves my memory.
Not just because when I sing with the group I feel a highly valued camaraderie.
It’s mostly just because it’s FUN!"

"I love being part of Voices Alive! The songs we sing are fun and beautifully arranged. Whoever thought I’d be part of a group that could create such a wonderful sound! I leave each practice feeling happy and energized, and am grateful for our director, Mary Bennet, and the friends I share this experience with."

"To the awesome women of Voices Alive…
I want to thank each and every one of you for welcoming me into your fold this season. It can be somewhat scary to enter a new group and attempt to find your place among its members. My experience with Voices Alive has been wonderful!!! Every person I’ve met in the group has been friendly and helpful! I feel very grateful to belong to this family of singers and am looking forward to our next season."
Gail Hamilton

"The Voices Alive Choir, every Tuesday afternoon, is the highlight of my week. I have loved to sing all my life, but never had the confidence to sing publicly until I discovered the welcoming, “no judgement” philosophy of this wonderful group of women, under the leadership of director Mary Bennet. I now sing our song list while driving, while walking, while cooking and vacuuming - it brings joy to my heart!"
Mary Baxter

"The sense of community and friendship the choir provides is irreplaceable".
