Remember us in your Will
The Aeterna Society recognises Friends and supporters of the VOCES8 Foundation who have made a legacy commitment to the VOCES8 Foundation mission to bring the power of singing to communities around the world. Aeterna Society members have generously demonstrated their dedication to assuring the future of the VOCES8 Foundation and its work by including the UK charity or US nonprofit organisation in their philanthropic plans.
Bruce Ryder is a Board member of The VOCES8 Foundation USA. He and his wife Linda have become members of the Aeterna Society:
“We are not fabulously wealthy, but we believe it is still meaningful to make gifts through our estate plan that acknowledge our gratitude to the institutions that have been an important part of our lives. The VOCES8 Foundation is certainly one of those institutions. The beauty and artistry of the singing of VOCES8 and APOLLO5 are unsurpassed. The Foundation’s programming, particularly through the Live from London streaming series that helped us get through the absence of live performances during the pandemic, has shown imagination and initiative. And the Foundation’s dedication to choral music education is vital to passing on to the next generation the love for choral music that we share. We are happy to make a contribution to support the future success of the Foundation and its programs.”
