More than 600 performers will gather under the direction of the internationally celebrated conductor Eric Knapp with the evening being hosted by famed author Raymond Arroyo and featuring special performances by Broadway’s Ryan Silverman (more to be announced). Voices United will benefit the outreach ministries of The Actor's Chapel, as well as charities such as Covenant House New York.
Voices United was founded by St. Malachy’s – The Actors’ Chapel in the heart of the Broadway Community. This festival joins voices from New York City, North America, and abroad in a program of benevolence and goodwill to people of many faiths and cultures. This year’s unique concert experience will feature young metropolitan-area musicians singing in a festival chorus along with a top-rate orchestra and conga ensemble.
The program will include "Hope for Resolution” by Caldwell Ivory, as well as other performances.
The evening will feature performers from many tri-state area choirs, including The Choir at St. Malachy’s, Connecticut Choral Society, and New Jersey Choral Society and others.
The evening will also celebrate two dedicated leaders, Fr. Benedict J. Groeschel CFR, recipient of The Father George Moore Award – Religious Leader Award, and David Higgs, who will receive The Paul Creston Award.
Groeschel is the director of the Office of Spiritual Development of the Archdiocese of New York. He has authored many books and recordings on spirituality and is familiar to television audiences from EWTN Sunday Night Prime Time. Higgs, one of America’s leading concert organists, is chair of the Organ Department at Eastman School of Music and is highly regarded as a recitalist, recording artist, educator and adjudicator of major competitions worldwide.
