The Bella Voce Singers, a women's choir based in Brooklyn, will be presenting two holiday concerts in Park Slope and Bay Ridge.

The shows are, apparently, great for adults and kids alike.

This year's holiday concert is called "Peace and Love" and they will sing songs of peace and love, featuring works by Brian Tate, Eleanor Daley, Alice Parker and Emily John. They'll also be throwing in a few holiday favorites as well, so be sure to catch one of their two December concerts!

The choir originated as an all-female teen group when Founding Director Jessica Corbin
was teaching at New York City's F. H. La Guardia High School of Music
and Art and Performing Arts. When Jessica left La Guardia in 2001, the
choir followed her to Brooklyn, where they continued to grow and
perform, eventually being named one of the top high-school age choirs
in New York City and performing with the Orchestra of St. Luke's at
Carnegie Hall. As the Bella Voce members began to graduate and move on
to college, many decided that they still wanted to sing together, so
the choir expanded to include all women ages 18 and up.

Bella Voce is now a 32-member multi-generational group dedicated to
excellence in choral singing. Our mission is to enrich and educate our
members and our audiences by performing a diverse repertoire with an
emphasis on contemporary choral composers such as Gwyneth Walker, Eric
Whitacre, Nick Page and Jackson Berkey, and by bringing other new and
lesser-known works to the community.  

The choir rehearses on Monday nights from 7–9 pm at Congregation Beth Elohim in Park Slope, Brooklyn. Bella Voce Singers auditions new members twice a year.
