Fostering cultural equity for young singers in New Orleans
New Voices New Orleans (NVNO) engages singers throughout the city’s public charter schools in dynamic performances that unlock creativity, embolden self-expression, and empower civic voice. Our unique approach to vocal music education prioritizes movement training and storytelling to develop singers’ literacy in music and command in performance. Through rehearsals, discussions, art-making, performances, and events, singers become members of intentional community and culture-bearers for the city of New Orleans.
2024/25 Season: ROUTES
“Who am I? Where am I going? Where have I been before?” These lyrics to a newly composed work frame our entire season, which will feature stories related to ancient Bvlbancha, contemporary music from New Orleanian bands, as well as material created for and by our singers. In Fall 2024, singers are visited by Chickasaw storyteller Amy Bluemel and her dance troupe Chikashsha Hithla to sing and stage stories from Amy’s cultural heritage. In Spring 2025, we catapult forward in time to modern-day New Orleans, performing songs by Cha Wa, Sweet Crude, Tank & The Bangas, and Jon Batiste, alongside our own singers’ lyrical and musical compositions.
Entering our first full fiscal year as a tax-exempt organization, New Voices New Orleans sets ambitious sights, serving up to 150 singers at three schools throughout the city: KIPP Central City Primary, KIPP Central City Academy, and Hynes UNO. Join the movement, and donate today!
“My favorite thing about New Voices New Orleans is that I can express my feelings.”
