Voices For Charity

From Bach to Broadway!

Voices For Charity (VFC) consistently holds two concerts throughout the year, as well as special events that involve music in some way.

Annual Variety Concerts

Our annual Spring Bouquet Concert is held the first Sunday in June, and features a variety of talented musicians from all over the New Jersey area. The concert always includes the Voices For Charity Choir, which usually opens and closes the show with music selections that vary from Bach to Broadway!

In addition to the VFC Choir, each concert usually includes two other acts, such as a featured guest soloist, instrumental duet or ensemble, poet, dance troupe, or radio play! Examples of our past VFC Concert Programs include performances by vocal soloists Debra Patchel (from Broadway’s La Boheme), renowned regional baritone/bass Glenn Boothby, and award winning Manhattan Association of Cabaret & Clubs (MAC) Female Jazz vocalist of the year, Sue Matsuki. Instrumental soloists and ensembles have been represented by the talented Rubin Brothers on piano, the outstanding Readington Middle School Jazz Band, and a toe-tapping Gospel Band.

Diversity is key point in both the charities that VFC supports, and the talent that we show case. In the past, we have had story tellers, bell choirs, dance troupes, poets and original radio plays on stage to provide a unique perspective of sharing God’s love and joy through music. If you know of a talented musician/performance artist or group or that would like to donate their time to our concert stage, please contact us!

Hunterdon Youth Choir Concert

Every spring, the Hunterdon Youth Choir (HYC) graciously and generously presents a wonderful performance to benefit Voices For Charity. Sponsored by Hunterdon Academy of the Arts in Flemington, these talented youngsters give of their time and share their delightful music with friends, relatives and neighbors to help contribute to the VFC cause.

Special Events with Music!

Voices For Charity is always looking for new and exciting events to raise money for and awareness of our benefiting charities. In 2002 and 2003, we held a Gala Event entitled, “An Evening of New York Cabaret!” These special evenings included performances by artists from the New York City cabaret scene, a cocktail reception with elaborate hors d’oeuvres and raffle prizes.

A favorite American past time, VFC is offering organized trips to local baseball games including the Somerset Patriots and Trenton Thunder games. Our musical touch? An ensemble from the VFC choir sings the national anthem! Lots of fun activities occur at these games as well, including Fireworks, throwing out the first pitch, give-aways and 50-50 raffles. A portion of the ticket price is donated back to VFC when you purchase your ticket through VFC on the selected evenings.

Another special event sponsored by VFC is our Tasting Dinners. Music plays in the background, as we sit and sample multiple courses of delicious food paired with selected wines. Enjoy scrumptious food and pleasant conversation with family and/or friends, knowing that a portion of your enjoyment is benefiting a diversity of worthy charities.
