Voices of Ascension is a New York–based choral and orchestral ensemble that curates and performs a high-level repertoire from diverse periods and nationalities. The organization emphasizes disciplined musicianship and aims to create immersive musical experiences for both performers and audiences, with performances supported by a professional ensemble and paid union-scale compensation for all concerts. Its core audience consists of concertgoers seeking serious choral and orchestral music, as well as radio listeners and listeners of the label releases that extend the reach of its performances. Founded in 1990 at the Church of the Ascension in Greenwich Village, the group has a five-concert annual choral season and assembles a core professional vocal ensemble that expands for selected works, supplemented by a professional instrumental contingent for a subset of performances. In addition to live concerts, Voices of Ascension has broadened its reach through broadcasts and recordings, including Delos’ catalog and the Grammy-nominated Naxos CD Song of the Stars, which spotlights Catalan music and a lost work by Enrique Granados. A recent development noted is the launch of an artistic initiative with Astronautica: Voices of Women in Space, announced in early 2021.
