From the website:

Wilmington Voices is a choral ensemble in New Hanover County that connects diverse communities through high-quality choral music and outreach programs. Their upcoming performance, “Considering Matthew Shepard,” is a poignant oratorio reflecting on Matthew Shepard’s life and legacy, underscoring their commitment to social justice and emotional resonance.

In January of 2022, following the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, Artistic Director Angela Burns created Wilmington Voices to rebuild a sense of community and connection across diverse groups of people in New Hanover County and the surrounding areas. Wilmington Voices presents choral music of the highest caliber to the communities of Eastern North Carolina and seeks to ensure that people from all walks of life have free access to high quality music and outreach programming. This ensemble is the first and only of its kind within 160 miles of its location.

The powerful and collaborative art of choral singing is valuable to all communities; it contributes to our spiritual and cultural life while nourishing our relationships with others. Wilmington Voices encourages new talent from all walks of life to audition for our ensemble – we recognize the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion, and we proudly welcome BIPOC, LGBTQ+ and minority performers.
