Review for One Voice Chorus Inc, Henrico, VA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

As a former professional singer and arts administrator, I am amazed at the level of musical and organizational excellence achieved by One Voice with non-auditioned singers and a part-time staff. The social mission of racial reconciliation is what makes this chorus so special. Singers are attracted to the group not only because of their love of music, but also their desire to connect with people in a personal, non-threatening way. As we focus on making beautiful music, we become a metaphor for community - very different voices pursuing a common purpose in harmony.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

find a way to have at least one full-time staff person so more opportunities could be pursued.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

getting to know wonderful people I would never have met otherwise.

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

be replicated throughout the region and even the country.

Ways to make it better...

concert planning could be done earlier so that underwriting and promotion could be more effective.

In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...

board development and sufficient funding.
