The Voices of Gwynedd is a 100-member choir comprised of full- and part-time students, faculty, staff, alumni and friends of Gwynedd Mercy University. Directed by Carol Evans, a seasoned soprano and assistant professor of music in the University's School of Arts and Sciences, the choir has developed into a highly professional choral ensemble presenting quality programs representing many different

genres. Performances by the choir and its musical collaborators are establishing the University as a strong cultural presence in Southeastern Pennsylvania and the entire Tri-state area. Enriching the campus and the region, the Voices of Gwynedd provide on-campus concerts and events throughout the year. In addition, the ensemble has represented the University at a number of high profile regional events. Their most recent regional events include performances at a celebration for the Sisters of Mercy at the Kimmel Center, the Convocation ceremony for the Collegium Augustinianum Graduate School of Philosophy and Theology in Philadelphia, the Gwynedd Mercy University Founder’s Society Dinner at the Blue Bell Country Club, and several Philadelphia sports team games, such as the Phillies, Eagles, and Flyers! In addition, for the past several years, the Voices have been joining hundreds of Breast Cancer Survivors in their search for a cure by performing at the opening ceremonies at the Race for the Cure on the steps of the Art Museum in Philadelphia. Other notable performances include performing with Barry Manilow on The Ultimate Manilow Concert Tour, JoDee Messina on her Christmas Tour, Broadway singer Linda Eder on her Holiday Tour, and as the featured choir with Judy Collins on her Christmas Tour. The group has expanded its repertoire with concert tours in England, Italy, Ireland, Canada, Nashville, San Diego, Washington D.C., Virginia, Walt Disney World, the American Southwest and performances for Spanish Missions, U.S. Naval Bases and most recently to Vienna and Salzburg, Austria and Prague, Czech Republic, where they performed multiple concerts at several venues, including masses in Czech and German. As part of the tour, they were able to explore many beautiful and moving sights such as some of Mozart’s childhood homes, the Mauthausen concentration camp, and some of the filming locations from the classic The Sound of Music. The Voices were honored in 1999 when they were asked to sing at the world premiere grand finale of Leslie Burr's opera Vanqui, at Opera Columbus in Columbus, Ohio. Subsequently the Voices have participated in additional presentations of Vanqui. Most recently, the group has collaborated with Mr. Burrs and members of Opera North in the event Jazz Goes to the Opera at the First Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia. On-campus performances include: Annual Carol Nights, performed for two nights in the University's Julia Ball Auditorium (these are always sell-out performances), and the Annual Spring Musicale.
