Review for One Voice Chorus Inc, Henrico, VA, USA
I am about to perform in my second concert with One Voice Choir of Richmond, VA. Joining was something I've been wanting to do but with three children at home it hasn't been an indulgence I've allowed myself. In addition, I do not read music well but memorize quickly so I was nervous about the commitment and maybe more so about my place in the choir. Not one who is easily thwarted by challenges, I now find myself surrounded by a wonderfully diverse group of the most lovely people who come together to sing to their hearts content! I am not judged by my lack of knowledge or anything else for that matter. It is our common intention to "reach across the aisle" to greet and chat with someone we do not know. We are inspired by the storytelling and personal histories of our choral leadership. This allows us the pleasure of coming together and making a difference not just among the confines of our choir but to model a common humanity to the community at large. My children really enjoy that I take pleasure in my indulgence and are quite surprised to find that their mother sings, relatively well, in a choir with a purpose that exceeds the pleasure of singing. I for one am proud to say that I connect weekly with this group who's intentions are fulfilled! Peacefully, Cheri Maffei Wolff
