About How can I keep from singing?

On Tour - direct from Florida, USA, and after two years of postponement due to the pandemic, the fabulous Voices of Naples, present a programme of choral works to suit all tastes - from traditional African American spirituals to folk songs, and Americana.

The choir was formed in 2002 to provide an opportunity for singers in SW Florida to study and perform a variety of choral music. Members are selected by referral and audition and rehearse/perform from mid-October through early April. As part of their charter, the choir provides scholarships to qualified applicants who are pursuing vocal music in college. The performance today is part of a concert tour to Scotland and England.
