About Broadway Inspirational Voices

Broadway Inspirational Voices is a diverse choir and service organization powered by Broadway artists using music to inspire hope and change lives.

In 1994 more than 32,000 people died from AIDS or AIDS-related complications in the U.S. Many of those deaths came from within the Broadway community. As Broadway grappled with the loss of an entire generation of artists, Tony and Grammy-nominated Michael McElroy (founder of the Broadway Inspirational Voices) saw in the community a profound need for hope, unity, and inspiration. He envisioned an organization where professional artists would come together and volunteer their gift to provide comfort, joy, and the promise of a better day–and as a result, The Broadway Gospel Choir was born. This magical synergy of authentic Gospel soul and Broadway bravura was re-imagined as the Broadway Inspirational Voices in 1999 and they have been the theatre community’s center of support and celebration ever since. In 2019, The Tony Awards Administration Committee presented the Tony Honors for Excellence in the Theatre to four outstanding contributors to the Broadway industry, and Broadway Inspirational Voices was a recipient. The Tony Honor was a resounding endorsement of Broadway Inspirational Voices’s enduring work and impact and in celebration of 25 years of service. In 2020, McElroy hand picked composer/singer Allen René Louis to become the new Artistic Director for Broadway Inspirational Voices. Broadway Inspirational Voices’s diverse membership has represented over 140 Broadway shows since its inception.

Music at Grace Farms offers an exceptional live experience, demonstrating how music and space enhance one another. Every event is crafted to foster connection, making music not just something to hear, but something to feel and share. Grace Farms’ Sanctuary, a 700-seat indoor amphitheater with exceptional acoustics, enhances performances with its glass and timber construction, offering the audience surrounding views of nearly 80 acres of natural landscape. This unique setting invites us into an immersive conversation and experience, where music intertwines with nature – the shifting light and the movement of trees and meadows – to elevate our collective sense of hope and possibility.
