Generational Voices has begun!

Last night at Chautauqua, we proudly launched the Denyce Graves Foundation’s third program, Generational Voices, with a special welcome dinner bringing together our fellows, mentors, and members of the DGF community for the beginning of a transformative two week journey.

Over the coming weeks, our fellows will learn, connect, and grow within an extraordinary intergenerational community surrounded by artists and mentors who will nurture their artistic voices, personal development, and professional aspirations.

This is more than a program. It is a community, a continuum, and a commitment to the future of the vocal arts.

Come along with us on the Generational Voices journey!

This month’s Hidden Voice is contralto Daisy Robinson Tapley who made history in 1910 as the first Black woman to be commercially recorded. A celebrated classical singer, vaudeville performer, and activist, she used her voice both on and off the stage, leaving a legacy that continues to inspire today.
