The VMS Voices welcomes individuals of all interest and capability to sing with our no-audition community choral group under the Musical Direction of Catherine Ellacer and Piano Accompanist Tammy Welsh. Together we share the joy of singing in community here at the Villages Golf & Country Club of San Jose. Enjoy our most recent concert Winter Bliss.
To share in all of the benefits of choral performance, please come join us on Wednesdays at 7:00 PM to learn new songs, feel good about the accomplishments while at the same time improving your overall wellness.
Song has the power to transport us to another world, to evoke emotions and touch our souls. The Voices celebrate the beauty of song and its ability to enrich our lives. Research consistently shows that because music is processed in multiple areas of the brain—including those responsible for emotion and long-term memory—it often remains accessible even when other cognitive functions decline.
Join us for the 2026 Spring Season kick off OPEN HOUSE January 14 6:30 PM at Vineyard Center.
Let the music take you on a journey you'll never forget! A song is more than sound—it’s memory, emotion, and connection wrapped in rhythm. In a few notes, it can carry joy or grief, calm a restless mind, or give courage when words fall short. Songs cross borders and generations, teaching us stories we never lived yet somehow understand.
Music has the power to unite strangers in a single chorus, to protest injustice, to celebrate love, and to heal quiet wounds. A melody can return us to a moment we thought was lost, or help us imagine a future we haven’t reached yet.
Voice is the first instrument. In its simplest form, a song is human breath and heartbeat. In its greatest form, it connects millions—reminding us that we are not alone.
