Default The Village Voices.

Tonight I had the most wonderful musical experience of my entire life. We heard the chorale group of 140 people called The Village Voices under the direction of Dr. Sandra Willetts at Church on the Square

I have never heard anything more beautiful. At times the group was accompanied by violins, piano, organ and some brass instruments but the perfect blending of all of those beautiful voices and the wonderful selections of music from classics to show tunes to even the most amazing group of spirituals was beyond anything these 72 year old ears had ever experienced.

At the last, a new soprano from Atlanta with an incredible voice had people leaping to give her and the group and it's leader a standing ovation. I found my own face wet with tears.

In this wonderful place in that wonderful church with amazing sound quality I heard these astonishingly talented singers whose average age is 70 and my heart just soared.

As I sat transfixed in the semi darkness I could feel the music move the attentive and appreciative audience. It was a beautiful and unforgettable night.
