Celebrating 35 years: A legacy of perseverance, embracing present challenges, and forging a limitless future

Join us for The Art of Joy, a concert celebrating the 35th anniversary of One Voice Mixed Chorus by honoring the origins and evolution of our mission. From the creation of vital LGBTQIA+ communities in a time when they didn’t exist, to the internal work of racial justice, our work is fundamentally about the quest for connection and belonging. The Art of Joy will celebrate and explore concepts of community bonds, found and chosen family, and home.

Saturday, June 22 | 7:00pm

Sunday, June 23 | 3:00pm

Ordway Concert Hall
St. Paul, MN

Join Our Board!

One Voice Mixed Chorus is seeking community-driven LGBTQIA+ individuals and allies to join our Board of Directors. New members will be joining the organization at an exciting and seminal moment in its 35 year history–well-established in the community, financially secure, growing, and invigorated by our new Artistic Director’s fresh vision and widely celebrated debut concerts in January. With this momentum and energy in tow, we are entering a period of strategic planning and visioning that will set an ambitious course for the organization. Central to our success will be building a board with relevant experience and perspective—both personally and professionally.

We are seeking individuals who are:

  • Impassioned by the role art plays in creating social change and cultivating new connections, community, and belonging

  • Committed to advancing intersectional social justice and ongoing personal development as an ally

  • Excited to contribute their time and talents, playing a pivotal role in guiding an organization on the rise

We want the experience of our board members to be equally rewarding for them as it is for One Voice. New members will be joining a small but supportive board that is committed to their success and impact. Unlike many non-profits where board roles are tied heavily to fundraising, One Voice boasts a sound budget and secure endowment, which allows members to serve in capacities that play to their strengths and maximize their efficacy as leaders. We want to do big things together—transformatively, sustainably, and enjoyably.

Ready? Interested? Curious? Consider the following opportunities to engage:

  • Attend an open rehearsal on Monday, March 18 (8-9pm). This informal event will provide a behind the scenes peek at the chorus, an opportunity to interact with fellow One Voice leaders, and explore the opportunity in conversation. Please RSVP here if you’re interested.

  • Schedule a one-on-one conversation with a current board member by completing this brief form. Or, email Board Secretary, Liz Vaught (elivaught@gmail.com).

  • Contact our Executive Director, Mitch Fantin (executivedirector@onevoicemn.org), with any questions.

THANK YOU to everyone who attended Dark Night Star Bright! It was a beautiful pair of performances and we shared the experience with nearly 700 of you! It was also a magnificent debut concert for Kimberly Waigwa as Artistic Director!
 
One Voice would not be able to carry out its mission of building community and creating social change by raising our voices in song without you, so THANK YOU! 
 

Here are a few pictures of some of our favorite moments. Hope to see you in June for our 35th anniversary concert Art of Joy!
