Harding Community Center

CARLSBAD/OCEANSIDE, Calif. — Voices Rock California is bringing its no-audition community rock and pop choir to North County this fall under the leadership of two local musicians and educators, Vanessa Gerads and Frank Meely.
Gerads and Meely will co-direct the Carlsbad/Oceanside choir, bringing together their experience in music education, performance and community music-making.
Gerads has spent more than two decades teaching choral music and directing choirs and musical theater productions. Meely, music director for Inner Child Theatre Camp and a longtime North County musician and music educator, brings extensive experience working with singers and performers of all ages.
Together, they will lead a choir designed not just for experienced singers, but for anyone who misses singing, has always wanted to try it, or simply wants a new way to meet people.
Voices Rock founder Betsy Leighton, a former social worker and therapist, started the organization with 15 singers in Denver in 2014 with a simple idea: people shouldn’t have to audition or consider themselves accomplished singers to experience the joy of making music together.
“We’re not looking for perfect singers,” Leighton said. “We’re creating a place where people can make music, meet people and feel like they belong.”
Voices Rock choirs sing familiar rock and pop music in a relaxed, supportive environment. There are no auditions and no need to read music.
The Carlsbad/Oceanside choir welcomes adults from throughout North County, including Carlsbad, Oceanside, Encinitas, Vista and surrounding communities.
