Sima alumni

It's really special to return as an alum to this organization, because I know that it was such a big part of my life as a young person and it opened up opportunities and experiences that I could have never had any other way. So to return and have that feeling again of voices at my back is really meaningful to me.

Uniting Voices Lexington

After decades of requests to bring our program to communities around the country, we launched our very first program site outside of Chicago in 2023: Uniting Voices Lexington. Led by alum Dr. Michael Preacely, Uniting Voices Lexington is a vocal ensemble for diverse youth ages 12-18 across the city and the wider Bluegrass region. The program showcases young people as ambassadors of the community and leaders on the global stage.

Past Alumni Performances

Throughout the season, Uniting Voices Chicago offers alumni unique opportunities to reconnect with the organization and current students through performance, volunteering, and more.
