VOICES spokesperson Roger Calleja said yesterday that now more than ever, all the people involved in VOICES live this year’s theme, i.e. “Ordinary People Doing Extraordinary Things”.

Just a few days before the concerts commence, all the various groups involved in the

production of VOICES, the choir, the band, the backstage crew, the front of house team, the sponsors, the committee, sound and lighting, marketing and so on, all join together like a jigsaw puzzle in one production with one message.

“This has always been the spirit behind VOICES and the aim is to create awareness about all those who – through teamwork – provide support to members of our society.”

Over the 10 nights between Wednesday 6 to Sunday 10 October and Wednesday 13 to Sunday 17 October more than 400 people will be giving their time and energy to be part of an exciting and wonderful experience for over

12,000 people who will be attending the concerts at the Republic Hall of the Mediterranean Conference Centre.

With kilometres of wiring on stage, thousands of wattage in sound power and over 60 microphones on stage, VOICES hopes that over Lm80,000 will be donated to various charities such as Eden Foundation, Razzett tal Hbiberija, Daniel Delicata Foundation, Hospice Movement, YMCA, Jesuit Refugee Service and many others.

All those who would like to make a donation can do so by sending an SMS on 50617354 for Lm1, 50618063 for Lm2 and 50618912 for Lm3, whereas telephone donations can be made on 50049812 for Lm2, 50049815 for Lm5 and 50049810 for Lm10. All these lines will be open till 31 October.
