Heritage Voices performs outdoors at historic sites, in small spaces like meeting rooms at local libraries, on stages with seating for hundreds, and everywhere in between. The ensemble uses concerts and interactive performances that blend music, history, and spoken word to present the richness and diversity of American song, with songs that commemorate events in American history. Currently, the group’s repertoire has expanded beyond the American Civil War period to include music from other events in American history, including the Civil Rights Movement.
