History
Voices of Change was founded in 1974 by pianist Jo Boatright and clarinetist Ross Powell. In 1999, VOC was nominated as a finalist for a Grammy Award for Best Performance by a Small Classical Ensemble. The CD, Voces Americanas, features works of five living composers of Hispanic descent. Voices of Change has been awarded the annual ASCAP Award for Adventuresome Programming an unprecedented five times and has recorded LPs and CDs on the CRI, Crystal, Innova, Albany, Centaur, and Redwood labels.
The ensemble has hosted more than 87 composers who have come to hear, discuss, and participate in the performance of their pieces. It has presented over 60 world premieres (more than 25 of which were commissioned by the ensemble), performed music by over 300 composers, and recorded 5 CDs. Voices of Change also commissions and records new works and produces an annual modern music competition to introduce the music of new composers.
