Voices Choir Directed by Jeannie Hunter, the World Voices
Choir seeks to combine excellence in performance with a love of world music
and a passion for global citizenship. The choir has performed throughout
the Ottawa Region, including recent performances for Stephen Lewis, the Grandparents
Solidarity March, the United Way, the Senate, and Ontario Today. Performances
have included the Education Foundation of Ottawa Carleton, the Ottawa Police
Services Diversity in Action Conference, the 'A' Channel breakfast show,
CBC Radio’s ‘Share Central’ and for more than 1,500 people at CIDA's 'International
Co-operation Days'. The choir performs regularly for the Ottawa Chapter
of the Nelson Mandela Children's Fund. As a group, choir members sing and
speak in over a dozen languages and study music from Traditional cultures
the world over. They released their first CD February 2007. The
choir has most recently been filmed by the George Lucas foundation, which
can be seen on their website edutopia.org

Cathy Goddard's love affair with music began
early. As the daughter of Salvation Army pastors, she could sing almost before
she could talk. Shortly before her first birthday, strains of "Happy Birthday
to Me" could be heard coming from the crib. While helping her parents minister
in inner city Toronto, Cathy's two great passions in life became music and
working with disadvantaged children. Her path would see these two great loves
combine into her life's vocation. Today she works as a Program Manager
and Camp Director for Sonshine Families, a Christian Foster Care Agency,
while continuing to perform and record. She has two CD’s to her credit,
her debut recording entitled “Shelter” and “Bethlehem Sonrise” which received
two nominations for the Covenant Awards. Cathy has sung and shared her story
in many churches in Canada, the Netherlands, Spain and Australia.
