 White Mountain Voices, formerly White Mountains Camerata, is pleased to announce that it has received its approval as a charitable non-profit 501.c.3 community chorale serving the Littleton-Lancaster region. We have created an initial board and governance documents and have ambitious plans going forward!
The mission of WMV is to enrich the regional community by performing and promoting high-quality, diverse choral music. We will be continuing to provide choral programs accompanied by instrumentalists and soloists under the guidance of our artistic director, Victoria Cole. Ms. Cole is a voice and piano teacher and professional vocalist from Franconia who has performed with the New York, Philadelphia, and Pittsburgh symphonies and earned a Master of Music in Vocal Performance from Carnegie-Mellon University. WMV will collaborate with schools and cultural organizations in our communities while encouraging younger singers and new audiences to get involved with our programs.

WMV is expanding our Choral Scholar program this fall. Up to 4 students in grades 9-12 will be selected to sing with the chorus while advancing their skills in choral performance. Dues and music are provided. There may be opportunities for solo or small group work, depending on programming. This is an ideal program for a student seeking post-secondary studies in Music Education or Performance. For more information, contact victoria.cole1 @gmailcom
