Voices of Jacksonville is the adult professional ensemble of the Jacksonville Children’s Chorus and is dedicated to increasing the awareness, appreciation, and esteem of choral music through performance, outreach, and education.  Conducted by JCC’s Artistic Director, Darren Dailey, and other guest conductors such as Rollo Dilworth, Henry Leck, and more, the ensemble delivers professional, musical performances in every outing. The best professional singers are sought as members of Voices of Jacksonville so that the highest level of professional choral performances is achieved.

Voices of Jacksonville was founded to support the Jacksonville Children’s Chorus, founded in 1995 at Jacksonville University to fill a need for a children’s music program in the area and has now grown to offer programming for children 18 months through 18 years of age.

Darren Dailey, conductor, came to Jacksonville in 2006 and since then has been shaping The Jacksonville Children’s Chorus into a world-class organization.  Under his artistic leadership, The Chorus has grown to serve over 1,000 First Coast children annually with five core performance choirs.  A nationally recognized clinician and conductor, Mr. Dailey has served as guest conductor in Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center’s Avery Fisher Hall and for the ACDA Honor Choir in Seattle.  He was honored with the distinguished Alumni Merit Award by Westminster Choir College in 2019 and in 2020, Chorus America presented Darren with the Brazil Wayne Dennard Award in recognition of his dedication to diversity and his contributions to the African American Choral Tradition.
