At the performances of the Spring 2025 program “Live Love Sing,” on May 2 and 4, Voices alto Roberta Wolfe will be sharing the gift of music with the Villages community as she has for over a decade. Music lifts Roberta up, and she loves music. In the past she had sung in the church choir and glee club, so shortly after she moved to The Villages, she joined Voices. In addition to sharing music with others, it was the no-audition invitation that encouraged Roberta to join the Voices. Little did she know that from that first day Roberta would begin an immediate and wonderful friendship with people such as Charlotte Lazar, a long-time Voices member—another benefit of becoming involved. Charlotte, who passed away in 2021, did the decor for Voices social functions and the staging decor for Voices performances. She invested many hours and dollars, and donated her creative talents in contribution to Voices performances.
Roberta enjoys sharing music with the community and with her family. She acknowledges the talented contribution of Voices Director Catherine Ellacer and Pianist Tammy Welsh who get the most out of the group, that they take a new crop of Voices every season from all new music to performance-ready, from thinking “How will we ever get through all of this music?” to standing in front of the community and seeing the joy on the faces of the audience as they connect with the music. Roberta also volunteers her time as the Secretary of the Board of Directors of the Villages Music Society, the organization under whose auspices the Voices are able to provide a live choral experience for the community. Roberta wants you to know that if you miss this, you will really be missing out. Please join us May 2 and 4 at 2:30 p.m. (doors open at 2 p.m. each time) for our Spring 2025 program “Live Love Sing,” an uplifting selection of music that will leave you inspired and renewed. Tickets are on sale now. Buy your tickets from Voices members—$20 cash, check, or charge to your house.
