The VILLAGE VOICES CHORALE is a spirited community chorus for adults who love to sing. Directed by Gloria Hilliard and accompanied by Christine DeKlotz, the 60-voice chorale delights its listeners with a wide variety of music from Classical to Broadway and Contemporary. Founded in 1969 as a non-profit organization, the Village Voices Chorale makes financial contributions to support vocal school music programs and provides scholarships to students majoring in voice.

Community Awards
The Village Voices is happy to receive funding from the community which helps the chorale's ongoing efforts to support vocal music in the community. The VIllage Voices has recently received grants from the Alliance for the Arts, the City of Thousand Oaks and the Thousand Oaks Rotary Club.

Village Voices on the Road
