Levoy Theatre launches veterans choir project in Millville
The Levoy Theatre is opening a no-pressure veterans choir to Millville residents, with an info session Tuesday at 6 p.m. and rehearsals starting in July.
The Levoy Theatre is inviting Millville-area residents into a veterans-focused choir project built around remembrance, service and participation, not polished performance. Echoes of Service: A Community Tapestry is open to veterans, active-duty service members, reservists, military families and community members of all backgrounds, and no professional singing experience is required.
An information session is set for Tuesday, June 23, at 6 p.m. at the Levoy Theatre, 130 N. High Street in Millville. Organizers say RSVP is encouraged but not required, giving first-time singers, veterans and family members a low-barrier way to learn what the project will ask of them before rehearsals begin in July. The concert is planned for October, and the theater says tickets for the free performance will be on sale soon.
The project carries both arts and civic weight. Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey, through The Horizon Foundation for New Jersey, is donating $20,000 to support the program. The Levoy will also work with the New Jersey Department of Veterans Affairs, including the New Jersey Veterans Memorial Home - Vineland, along with The Barn Studio of Art and other partner organizations. The theater says the choir will present choral performances of patriotic music, tying the project directly to veterans remembrance and public participation in Cumberland County.
The new effort builds on a similar Levoy veterans program staged in May 2025, when Resilient Voices brought together veterans from the Vineland Veterans Memorial Home and community members for performances on May 22, May 27 and May 30. Local coverage of that production said singers ranged from their early 20s to their late 80s and that some had no chorus experience at all, underscoring the same inclusive model the theater is using again.
Donna Terry, the Levoy’s Education Outreach associate and the choir director identified in local coverage of the veterans program, is a key figure in the new project. The Levoy Arts and Education Center says its programs are designed for all ages, abilities and backgrounds, and the theater is leaning on that mission as it turns a patriotic music project into a community gathering point for residents, service members and veterans across Millville and greater Cumberland County.
