UNIVOX CHOIR presents "This Is Why We Sing" - a celebration of the power of music to uplift, connect, and inspire. The program spans centuries and genres, and explores themes of hope, justice, love, identity, and joy. From the soaring spirituality of Mozart’s Ave Verum Corpus and Tallis’ If Ye Love Me, to the bold rhythms of You Can’t Stop the Beat and the heartfelt anthem I Was Here, each piece reflects a reason we raise our voices in song.
Join us for an evening that travels through classical beauty, gospel soul, contemporary reflection, and pure pop exuberance.
