Recognized by the Yale Institute of Sacred Music as a conductor “of exceptional promise and achievement,” Amanda Weber is passionate about uniting music, art and community through her work as a conductor, teacher, performer, artist and social activist.
Music is our tool, not our purpose.
I believe singing together is an opportunity for healing, building community, learning, and advocacy. My experience with a variety of choirs – from professional choir to high school choir, college choir to homeless choir, church choir to prison choir – continues to prove this time and again. Singing together is much more than the music we create.
“It’s not only the music that I would like to thank you for… It’s your patience, and your kindness, it’s the joy you bring and the joy you give when you’re directing and teaching us new songs. It’s the compassion you have for what we go through and the injustice circumstances we conquer daily. Being a part of Voices of Hope has put confidence in my voice and empowered me to share my talents with others.”
