In the summer of 2026, Community Voices made its debut in a moment that none of the participants will ever forget. 35 children from Avon, Farmington, and surrounding communities came together to perform at the Avon & Farmington 250th Anniversary Celebration — a once-in-a-generation community milestone marking America’s founding.

For the occasion, program director Michael Lamb wrote an original song — “We Stand” — a celebration of two towns, a shared river, and 250 years of history. After just two rehearsals, 35 young voices performed the song live at the Thompson Brook Recreation Area in Avon, Connecticut, in front of their families, their neighbors, and local officials marking one of the most significant community anniversaries in the region’s history.

The response from families was immediate. Parents reached out asking when the next program would be. Kids didn’t want it to end. What began as a single community event revealed something deeper — a genuine hunger in this community for exactly this kind of experience.

“We Stand” was written to celebrate the spirit of Avon and Farmington standing side by side — and the voices of the children who will carry that spirit forward.

— Michael Lamb, Director · Community Voices Youth Choir

Community Voices is now becoming a permanent recurring program — with fall and spring sessions, each culminating in a live concert performance, and a growing community of young performers building their confidence one rehearsal at a time.

More than a choir.
A community experience.

Community Voices is a weekly performance choir for children ages 7–12. Each session runs 9 weeks with once-weekly 75-minute rehearsals and culminates in a live performance — a Christmas concert in the fall and a spring concert in May or June.

Every child is welcome. No audition required — just a love for singing, making music, and an interest in performing. Michael’s approach is always the same: meet every student exactly where they are, build their confidence, and give them something to be proud of by the time they step on stage.
