André De Quadros: Artistic Director
We are a chamber choir and artist's collective, dedicated to a mission of global understanding through music. |

In a time when American ideals are epitomized by nationalism and aggression, VOICES 21C aligns itself with the great American voices of compassion, love, and non-violence.
VOICES 21C is a Boston-based chamber choir who seeks to combine high technical proficiency with creativity and compassion. The choir creates personal meaning in performance by connecting their musical messages to social justice issues in the USA and abroad, representing the voices of the silenced, the forgotten, and the marginalized. VOICES 21C Is a welcoming space for LGBTQ, committed to contemporary composers, and improvisational, interdisciplinary modes of performance through their co- creating, egalitarian consensus model. VOICES 21C's debut project was the CHORALP Festival in Briançon France, where their program Pain and Promise was received with considerable acclaim. Their work includes numerous appearances in the greater Boston area, as well as their 2017 tour of "Here I Am" Israel and Palestine, and 2018's "Somehow This Madness Must Cease" in Cuernavaca and Mexico City. We are a 501c3 and contributions are tax deductible.
