About "Voices of Pride" |
| Voices of Pride (VOP)
began with the dream of a few men who were singing in a chorus quite a
distance from the Palm Beaches.
Inspired
by the numerous gay and lesbian choruses across the country, and bolstered by the
support and encouragement of Compass and MCC of the Palm Beaches, the
men founded the first local gay chorus for the people of Palm Beach
County.
The dream was to craft a musical organization with the highest musical and performance
standards, encouraging diversity and respect for all
people through music. VOP would become a strong member of our thriving arts
community - adding yet another facet to the jewel that is Palm Beach
county!
And now...that dream has become a
reality! |

Our Mission |
- To encourage acceptance of diversity and
respect for all people through music.
- To entertain the Palm Beach County community
with quality music from a gay men's chorus.

County that promotes communication and positive change in our

environment for the celebration of individuality through the art of
music.
