Las Voces debut is tonight at Christ Episcopal

DAVID STONE | August 5, 2022

The debut performance of local choral group Las Voces will be at 7 p.m. tonight at Christ Episcopal Church in Temple.

The group consists of 16 accomplished vocalists from Central Texas, including many choir directors from area schools.

“We currently have 16 members and they all perform on a very high level,” said Ashley Carter, director and founder of the group. “Las Voces is Spanish for The Voices. I have a dream to elevate the choral art in Central Texas, and a big part of our community is Spanish speaking.”

The group will be performing the Faure Requiem at the concert, along with short works by film composer Christopher Tin, Jeanette Gallant, and Moses Hogan, the famed composer of spirituals.

“We will be accompanied by Dr. Leon Couch, the organist at Christ Episcopal Church, and other local musicians,” Carter said.

“We formed Las Voces in January of this year and we had our first rehearsal over Easter weekend,” she said. “The requiem will be performed in Latin — it’s a beautiful piece.”
