The
Voices of The POPS is the featured vocal ensemble for The Philly POPS. Since
their debut in 2000, The Voices has become an
integral part of The POPS, performing a wide range
of music and concerts. This multi-talented group
adds to the versatile orchestra by providing a
new dimension to the already imaginative arrangements.
The animated vocal element brings lyrics and melody
to life against the rich tapestries of the orchestra's
sound.
In 2000, The Voices were conceived to perform in concert with, as well as represent, the organization at various appearances throughout the region.
The group went on to perform to thunderous applause
with The POPS at selected concert series that
year. Great acclaim and growing opportunities
brought The Voices back the following years, making
them an essential member of the organization.
Consisting of professional performers and led
by choral director Jeff Kern, The Voices strive
for excellence in the performance of a broad repertoire.
The ensemble consists of four sopranos, three
mezzo-sopranos, three tenors and three baritones
who possess an extensive array of theatrical,
operatic and choral experience.
