Sisters’ Voices is a choral community of girls, where singers are known and supported while being challenged to grow as musicians and as people.
Serving girls and gender expansive treble voices in grades K through 10, Sisters’ Voices leads singers through a progressive secular choral program focusing on world folk and western classical music. The Sisters' Voices curriculum intends to explore an expanding variety of musical styles, encourage development of each individual's musicianship, and provide a cooperative atmosphere where singers develop a sense of competence and confidence while creating close friendships and having fun together. Singers learn to read music and develop vocal independence through a study of solfege (do-re-mi), games, movement, and canon singing. Our middle school and high school ensembles include a leadership program, exploring issues that are important to the singers and further developing relationships.
The five Sisters' Voices ensembles perform two full concerts each year; older singers also appear at various events in the larger community.
Sisters' Voices offers a Summer Theater Workshop in June, and Camps in August that kick off our upcoming season.
Schola Cantorum provides musical leadership for the Sunday 11:15 AM masses at St. Thomas More Catholic Church, singing a diverse repertoire ranging from traditional hymns to modern songs.
Triangle Youth Music Chorus offers a solid musical experience, promoting integrated vocal, intellectual, physical, spiritual and emotional development from a Christian perspective. TYMC is for younger singers, using unison and beginning part music; the Advanced Chorale, Cantique, supports TYMC and also works on three- and four-part music. The groups merge to offer concerts each semester, and to sing the National Anthem at the Durham Bulls Athletic Park. TYMC welcomes all voices (changed, changing or unchanged), grades 3-12.
The Chancel Choir of United Church of Chapel Hill sings most Sundays during the school year, usually at the 11:00 service. They also sing for Christmas Lessons and Carols and other special services in the church year. Membership is open to all regardless of religious affiliation (or lack thereof!).
United Voices of Praise sings traditional and contemporary African-American gospel music with joy and spirituality that transcends differences among people. The group grew out of a 1995 Christmas performance by United Church of Chapel Hill’s gospel choir and the choir of Fisher Memorial Holy Church in Durham. All singers are welcome, regardless of affiliation. In addition to monthly services at both churches, United Voices sings at community events and has toured Europe.
