Sisters' Voices is a group of extraordinary young musicians in Chatham County.  Founded in 2008, the group draws 4th through 8th grade girls into a musical community that concentrates its study on classical and world folk music.  The ensemble works to build connections between people through making music, to engender a love of music and the arts in singers and audience members, and to enrich each singer's understanding of herself in relationship to her community.  Sisters' Voices benefits from the generous support of the Arthur Carlesen Charitable Fund of Triangle Community Foundation, the Youth Pro Musica Fund of Triangle Community Foundation, the Fearrington Arts and Crafts Club, Binkley Baptist Church, and Pittsboro Presbyterian Church.  More information about Sisters' Voices can be found at www.sistersvoices.org Leandra Strope is the conductor and founder of the group.  Janice Pope is the accompanist.
