Multitude of Voyces

Our charitable objects are:
• the advancement of education in the area of arts, culture and heritage by the increase of individual and collective knowledge and understanding of musical creativity, musical history and related matters
• the advancement of arts culture and heritage by promoting music and performance by and with those from underrepresented and marginalised groups .
The organisation works collaboratively with individuals and in partnership with other charitable organisations to create and provide useful, effective and accessible resources and events which are fully justified both academically and in practice.
Each project focusses on one or more areas of evidenced historical or current underrepresentation or marginalisation within the field of classical music and associated Arts, with a particular focus on sacred music and themes which support those who belong to the groups defined by the Nine Protected Characteristics determined as Age, Sex (Gender), Disability, Gender Reassignment, Marriage and Civil Partnership, Pregnancy and Maternity, Race – this includes colour, nationality and ethnical or national origins- Religion or belief, Sexual orientation (Equality Act 2010).
Multitude of Voyces advocates for progress in better-representing our identified communities and provides a safe platform for Contributors to present their creative work and academic knowledge.
The sale of the educational resources published by Multitude of Voyces help to meet some of the organisation’s costs. Other costs have to be met through public donation, grants, or the Contractors’ donated labour.
The resources we create as a result of our shared research are purpose-led, innovative, creative, intersectional, interdisciplinary and unique. We target areas where comparable educational materials or support does not exist or is restricted to those with particularly privileged access to information and research, and where the deliberate omission or neglect of certain groups in society has led to or perpetuated gender, racial or other bias, to the detriment of society as a whole.
