Join Voices of Ascension for an extraordinary evening as we honor two bold and visionary figures shaping the future of culture:

Anthony Roth Costanzo
Countertenor and Producer; General Director and President, Opera Philadelphia; Artistic Director, SongStudio at Carnegie Hall

Alexandra Munroe

Step into timeless elegance for a gala filled with luminous music, inspired conversation, fine dining, and joyful celebration. Gather with fellow music lovers, artists, and friends to support one of New York City’s premier choral institutions.

This is our signature event of the season—and an evening you won’t want to miss.
