NeoVoce Philharmonic Choir (NPC), officially established in 2023 in Canada, is a federally registered non-profit choral art group composed of vocal enthusiasts from various professions who love choral singing and pursue their musical goals. The choir shares one common mission: to demand singers with professionalism in rehearsals, to treat audiences with professionalism in concerts. NeoVoce boasts extensive performance experiences, encompassing a wide range of Western traditional choral works, contemporary choral arrangements and compositions representing diverse cultures and languages. These are showcased through NeoVoce’s regular rehearsals, annual concerts, workshops, open rehearsals, and international tours.
Since 2020, under the baton of the Artistic Director and Conductor Leo Li, NeoVoce has undergone a systematic and rigorous choral training; the choristers’ choral literature and skills have been improved rapidly. The choir provides tiered training based on the musical background and abilities of its members. This includes the NeoVoce Singers for professional and semi-professional vocalists, the NeoVoce Choir for semi-professional and non-professional members, and the NeoVoce Amateur for non-professional enthusiasts. Additionally, NeoVoce Philharmonic Choir has established a classical strings quartet to offer high-quality performance opportunities for younger generation of overseas Chinese. Leo Li has been appointed as the composer, arranger, and conductor of the NeoVoce Philharmonic Strings Quartet.
In 2022, NeoVoce was selected in the Connections Series – Open Rehearsal at PODIUM, Canada’s national biennial bilingual choral conference and festival for choral and group singing arts in Toronto. From 2022 ~ 2023 music season, NeoVoce has started to host the concert series of Hearing the East. In 2024, NeoVoce participated in the Digital Horizons Series Concert at PODIUM, in Montreal.
In 2024, NeoVoce participated in the 17th China International Chorus Festival, earning the prestigious “International Peace and Friendship Award” along with Silver and Bronze awards, competing against over 300 choirs and singing groups around the world.
In October 2024, NeoVoce Philharmonic Choir, in collaboration with the Tsinghua Alumni Performing Arts Group and the Greater Toronto Philharmonic Orchestra, successfully presented the 85th Anniversary Memorial Concert of Yellow River Cantata and 75th Anniversary of Its Canadian Premiere, under the baton of Artistic Director Leo Li.
In 2025, NeoVoce has launched a series of events, including open rehearsals, choral workshops, concerts, and international tours, in collaboration with renowned global conductors and experts and leading domestic choirs and singing groups.
