HOW IT STARTED
Voices of Virtue Gospel Choir, one of the North East's Leading Gospel choirs was conceptualised almost a decade ago as Chayil (meaning virtuous woman) in Newcastle upon Tyne. It started off as a duo with two close friends (Matti and Chichi) and as it gained popularity there became an increasing need to expand Chayil consequently, a quartet was put together called Augmented and, eventually a choir to meet the demands. The name Voices of Virtue Gospel Choir was able to keep the original meaning Chayil, transforming from women of virtue to voices full of virtue.
OUR VISION
Our vision is to promote faith, unity, love and hope whilst enriching and diversifying the arts community and the soundscape of North East of England and beyond through the gospel music genre. We believe as Christians that we are the light of the world, and we use our gift of music to reach those who may not ordinarily walk through the doors of a church building with this message of love and hope. We achieve this through a series of projects, strategic collaborations, shows, public and private events.
