OUR STORY

Urban Voices was born when Wesley Health Clinic reached out to the Colburn School of Music seeking to start a street choir for the residents of Skid Row. Leeav agreed to take on the project, being teamed up with Christopher to recruit. Kate joined the team soon after, and within a few months, the group had grown from about 5 to over 20 members.
