Voices of Ascension


VOICES OF ASCENSION, founded in 1990 and directed by conductor Dennis Keene, presents exceptional performances of great works of music for chorus and orchestra. It sustains a vibrant artistic community of professional vocal and instrumental musicians in New York City through a broad repertory, dynamic programming, and strategic collaborations across the tri-state area. Over the course of its 30-year history, Voices of Ascension has produced an annual concert series, released Grammy-nominated recordings, and engaged in artistic collaborations with the San Francisco Symphony, Mostly Mozart Festival, José Limón Dance, the Mark Morris Dance Group, The Metropolitan Museum of Art and others. Recent performances have been described as "richly colored, impressive, and beautifully balanced" (Wall Street Journal) and "inspired" (NY Times). 

The singers of Voices of Ascension are represented by the American Guild of Musical Artists, AFL-CIO.
