Voices began as the Community Arts Center Choir in Feb. 2020. The choir was created by Silvea Johnson, a multi-faceted recording artist, musician, and syndicated radio host from Wilmington. Silivea had fond memories of the Community Arts Center and wanted to support the building and saw a need for a choir for all voices. The choir began in Feb. 2020, just weeks before the pandemic shut down all activities. But that did not stop Silivea and the Voices Choir! Rehearsals and concerts continued on ZOOM with the first in-person concert outside the Community Arts Center, a Christmas Caroling Event in Dec. 2021. The Christmas Concert is now a beloved annual event. Please join the Voices Workshop Choir Sunday Dec. 8, 2024 at 3:00 pm! A Spring 2025 concert will be announced soon!
