Joyful Voices News Briefs - August 23, 2018
Joyful Voices has made a decision not to grow the choir’s size any further than our current 60+ members and focus instead on developing the choir musically into the very best gospel choir we can be.
Joyful Voices hears from so many people who want to join the choir or attend a rehearsal to in order to experience the joy of singing gospel music with Donnell Patterson, and we feel that providing a way for as many as people as possible to sing gospel is an important part of the choir's mission.
To this end JVOI is undertaking the formation this fall of a new, open to all, monthly gospel sing!
Introducing "The First Monday Mass Choir" Gospel Sing!!
Want to sing some great gospel??? EVERYONE is welcome at our new monthly gospel sings; no experience necessary. Just come and have fun learning marvelous gospel songs from the one and only Donnell Patterson.

Our Mission
Gospel music is both a powerful inspirational medium and a uniquely American art form. The choir's mission is to share their inspiring gospel music with others and, in doing so, promote the appreciation of gospel music through education about the history and development of the music.
Founded as a traveling choir, JVOI loves to travel and goes on singing tour most every summer. The choir has visited Italy (twice), France, Holland, Ireland, Brazil, Costa Rica, Argentina, Barcelona Spain and Germany!!
Joyful Voices of Inspiration frequently donates their services at civic and fund raising events in the Boston area.
Our Director
Donnell Patterson is now starting his sixth season with JVOI and he is so excited to be working with us yet again. (And WE are so excited to have him back once again!!)
We are truly blessed to have such an energetic, dynamic, enthusiastic, talented and FUN director as Donnell
