Sing This Night

Today, as I sit to write to you, our devoted Bella Voce family, my heart aches at the loss of my partner in music making and dear friend, Sue Goodenow, our accompanist for over 20 years. Most of you have learned that Sue was tragically torn from us due to a horrific bicycling accident on October 4, 2025. The Bella Voce family is heartbroken about this loss. Just recently, someone asked if we were going to go ahead and have our annual December concert. I replied that Sue would have it no other way! She was passionate about our community music making and would want our concert to go on!

And so, we invite you to join the singers in Bella Voce as we share our music with you for the holiday season. Our center piece is a multi-movement work for treble choir, harp and viola entitled Winter Hymns celebrating the changes to our natural world in the winter. We will also share some old favorites, including an Alfred Burt Carl, and The Twelve Days After Christmas!

We are eager to share our beautiful music with you and your friends in Reno at 7:00pm on Friday, December 5 th at St. John’s Presbyterian Church, in Carson City at 2:00pm on Saturday, December 6 th at the Shepherd of the Sierra Lutheran Church, and in Reno at 2:00pm on Sunday, December 7 th at Trinity Episcopal Cathedral.

Welcome to Bella Voce Reno

BELLA VOCE (Italian for beautiful voice) is northern Nevada's premier treble voice chorus. We have been singing for over 30 years and are known for excellent vocal technique, beautiful sound, and high quality performances of both classical and contemporary music. Based in Reno, Bella Voce consists of 25-30 auditioned singers, ages 22 to 70+, who come from a variety of professions, musical training, and musical backgrounds. We perform two major programs every year, in December and May, in both Reno and Carson City. We also perform in other venues and community events during the year. As members of Bella Voce, we share a love of singing and enjoy the challenges of performing music that is innovative and diverse, familiar and new. And we especially appreciate the opportunity to share our voices and our hearts with our audiences. We welcome you to our concerts and hope that you will join us soon!

Tickets & Admission

In 2014, Bella Voce decided to forgo the sale of tickets and admission to our performances is usually free. We want our concerts to be readily available to everyone, regardless of cost. Of course, donations are cheerfully accepted and, in fact, are a very important part of the support that Bella Voce needs and enjoys from the community.

What is a "Treble Voice Chorus"?

A treble voice chorus is an ensemble comprised of singers with the highest vocal ranges: soprano and alto. As a treble voice chorus, we focus on developing vocal technique, musicality, and a love for choral singing within a supportive and encouraging environment. Our aim is to perform a diverse repertoire, ranging from classical and folk music to contemporary and popular songs, showcasing the unique blend of soprano and alto voices.

Seventh Annual Treble Voice Turnout!

Bella Voce hosted our seventh (!) annual Treble Voice Turnout event on Wednesday, October 22nd, when we gathered five treble voice (soprano and alto) choirs from five Washoe County high schools for a choral festival at Spanish Springs High School auditorium. Approximately 250 young singers from Spanish Springs, Damonte Ranch, McQueen, Reed, and Hug High Schools performed for one another, followed by the women of Bella Voce. We ended our afternoon by standing around the auditorium and singing together “Never One Thing,” a moving call to accept and care for all parts of ourselves. For more information, see the article under Latest News.
