Programs described in its return (1)
- $97,988 spent. As a new organization, we simply have one program that we run at various schools. In it's first full fiscal year, New Voices New Orleans served 169 singers across four public charter schools. This season was entitled "Routes", and in two major concert cycles (Fall 2024's Heart Song", and Spring 2025's "Here We Come") singers explored "where we've been and where we're going."
