One Voice Project
Coming in 2016 concert season: The One Voice Project Tour
A one-woman performance of song, poetry, theatre, and spoken word, the One Voice Project is a response to the question: What can one person, one body, one voice, express, through sound, movement, song, theatre, poetry, spoken word, silence? Performed live and unaccompanied, with minimal props, in beautiful and unusual spaces throughout the Midwest, the One Voice Project connects the worlds of music, theatre, and the written word. Featuring six brand-new musical works by composers from the U.S. and abroad, the inaugural tour of the One Voice Project offers audiences a multifaceted artistic experience.
Tour Dates & Locations forthcoming.

One Voice Project Call for Scores
Mission
The goal of the One Voice Project is to expand the repertoire for unaccompanied voice. While there is a strong tradition of solo instrumental works in the classical repertoire, there are relatively few works for solo voice and classical singers rarely perform as true soloists. By partnering with living composers, the One Voice Project will promote unaccompanied vocal performance as a genre and promote the creation of new works for singers.
