Violinist and founder/director, Annabelle Marie, incorporating her unique style, "physical singing," presents VOENA, honored as goodwill ambassadors, representing the United States at the world renowned Soweto Cultural Heritage Festival in South Africa in September 2009.
As young people, they are our hope for a better world---for a better tomorrow. They are agents of change in a world that sometimes forgets that we are all here for each other--- to move beyond ourselves and our differences if even for a moment--and reach out to each other in love and in peace. This is VOENA – powerful, beautiful, the voice of virtue – it is the hope sought by all and sung by children, recognizing that the true spirit of unity is understood in any language.
