VOENA Director,
Annabelle Marie
|
VOENA
was founded in
1994 by Annabelle,
a composer and
solo artist, who
arranges most of
the choirs music
which includes a
cappella,
acoustic, original
and well-known
songs from around
the world. Some of
the choirs
repertoire comes
from the members
themselves who
bring it from
their cultural
backgrounds; some
she composes
herself, and she
also commissions
new works for the
choir. The music
is a mixture of
folk, classical,
pop and sacred
music and is sung
in Swahili,
Japanese, Russian,
Navajo, Hebrew and
more than a dozen
other languages.
Multiple
percussion
instruments, dance
and theatrical
elements round out
the a cappella
voice selections. |

According to
VOENAs
founder and
director,
Annabelle Marie,
"The World Expo
has always
represented global
harmony -- the
coming together of
people, nations,
cultures, and
voices. As a
choir,
VOENA
seeks to embody
those same ideals
in song. We are
thrilled with such
a high honor to
represent the
United States on
this day and to
add our voices to
the world
harmony. In
addition, the
choir, which is a
501(c)3
not-for-profit
organization, is
accepting
donations, selling
VOENA
t-shirts and
holding
fund-raising
concerts.
Donations are
tax-deductible and
may be made by
calling Teresa
White at (707)
751-1515.

child has a desire to be
in the choir he or she
is accepted. For
beginners who need to
gain experience in
finding pitch, theres a
preparatory level. The
more advanced
studentsare placed in
the intermediate,
concert and concert
ensemble levels. All the
students participate in
one large venue per
