Our program features songs that will lift your spirits and inspire you with stories of persisting in the face of being stifled, such as “Live Out Loud” from A Little Princess, finding hope and joy in spite of fear, as in Mozart’s “Un moto di gioia,” and reaching the unreachable star, like Don Quixote’s “The Impossible Dream.”
The Arc of Northern Virginia is a 61-year old nonprofit organization that represents and serves over 39,000 people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD)—such as autism, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, epilepsy, and rare chromosomal disorders—of all ages and their families. The Arc of Northern Virginia provides guidance and support for families, connecting them to services, supports, and solutions as they navigate the challenges and concerns throughout each stage of life for their loved ones with IDD.
Not only was I thrilled with the magnificent performances of these ladies, but as one guest commented, “Their singing was so very beautiful that when I looked around, not one eye in the entire audience was dry.”
– Cliftine Jones, patron
“…chills ran down my spine at the powerful harmonies of Sopranessence….Sopranessence is a treat to witness, both for their vocals and for the diversity of
the songs they execute.”
