The CEF Freedom & Liberation Ensemble brings different voices together to unite for one cause: freedom and liberation. We are stronger than ever, advocating for fixed-income, low-income, and no-income populations. By bringing the community together to sing justice-oriented versions of popular songs, we demand that people in power hear the voice of the community.
No audition necessary, open to all singers who are passionate about justice. For questions and information, please call (919)200-0233 or email yvettem@communityempowermentfund.org and biancam@communityempowermentfund.org .

The groups merge to offer concerts each semester, and to sing the National Anthem at the Durham Bulls Athletic Park. TYMC welcomes all voices (changed, changing or unchanged), grades 3-12.

United Voices of Praise sings traditional and contemporary African-American gospel music with joy and spirituality that transcends differences among people.
