Our very own, Belle Voci, joins the Pittsburgh Youth Chorus (PYC) for this event.

Music strengthens, unites and uplifts our voices in celebration of our shared journey.

 

Belle Voci is thrilled to host the 13th annual Treble Choir Festival of Western Pennsylvania at First Presbyterian Church of Edgewood (120 East Swissvale Ave., Pittsburgh, PA 15218) on Sunday, Oct. 27, at 3 p.m. Admission is $5 at the door. 

 

Seven choirs in Allegheny County will come together in song. We are proud to feature these esteemed groups: 

Penn Hills High School Cantabile - Briana York, Conductor

Ellis School Glee Club - Gail Novak Mosites, Conductor

Pittsburgh Girls Choir’s Women of Song - Emily Tiberi, Conductor

University of Pittsburgh Treble Choral Ensemble - Lorraine Milovac, Conductor

Riverview High School Grace Notes - Nathan Hart, Conductor

Solo Voci - Rachel Eaton, Conductor

Belle Voci - Lorraine Milovac, Conductor

 

Each group will take the stage to showcase their choir’s unique sound and collection of music. All groups will join together in singing, “Crowded Table,” by Andrea Ramsey. The messaging in “Crowded Table,” encapsulates the theme of our season: a musical journey through different branches of the human experience - elemental, metaphysical, and facets of everyday life.

 

The chorus reads, “I want a house with a crowded table / And a place by the fire for everyone / Let us take on the world while we're young and able / And bring us back together when the day is done.”

 

Music acts as the common thread through life’s journey despite our ages, life experiences and backgrounds. 

 

Belle Voci Artistic Director Lorraine Milovac began the Treble Choir Festival of Western Pennsylvania in 2007 as the conductor for the University of Pittsburgh Treble Choral Ensemble. The festival serves as a community-outreach initiative to fulfill our mission of “connecting song and community.”
