VOCA are a group of fun loving, professionally minded, singers and musicians, who share a love for song. Since its inception, VOCA have made it their primary mission to be not just a “choir”, but a choir with a difference. Today VOCA’s repertoire ranges from spiritual and worship music, to musicals and contemporary pop music, although VOCA’s distinguishing forte is Gospel music making them one of the top Maltese Gospel Choirs performing both in Malta and overseas. The majority of VOCA’s members are seasoned musicians, choristers and soloists with extensive experience in the field. This is clearly reflected in the distinguishable tight harmonies, dynamic sounds and soulful interpretations making every VOCA performance a joyous musical roller coaster. VOCA are available for concerts, weddings and any other events that require a good dose of entertainment. VOCA are available for bookings both in Malta and abroad. The repertoire is vast in style and includes songs in English, Maltese, Italian, Spanish and Latin. |

Nathalie Camilleri
Choral Director Music has been Nathalie's passion for as long as she can remember. She started taking piano lessons at the age of five and continued her studies under the tuition of several teachers, until in 1979, at the age of fifteen, she obtained her LTCL and ATCL Diplomas in Pianoforte. In 1980, under the tuition of Miss Giovanna Bascetta and Mrs Anna Scicluna, Nathalie obtained her LRSM Diploma, also in Pianoforte. During her career she has also taken part in several Musicals and stage Representations. Being a Music teacher by profession brought Nathalie more in touch with the joy that Music brings to our everyday life. Her busy school schedule has, throughout the years, not only kept her in touch with the Musical aspect of things, but also in the production of a numerous number of performances put up throughout the years. In 2004, Nathalie decided to join 'Voices' and this opened up a series of events which eventually led to the post she holds today. Becoming the Choral Director of a choir like VOCA never crossed Nathalie's mind. Having formed part of the choir since its formation, she was happy singing and mingling with her fellow choristers. Becoming VOCA's Choral Director has helped her enhance her musicality and for this she is very thankful. Like everything in life there are challenges, but hearing the choir come together gives Nathalie great satisfaction and the will to go on. Working with true friends whom she cherishes with all her heart is a truly wonderful experience says Nathalie. Nathalie never fails to take the opportunity to thank the Lord for providing her with the gift of Music, her family for their support and the choir members for their commitment and dedication towards the choir. She truly believes that Music speaks what cannot be expressed, soothes the mind and gives it rest, heals the heart and makes it whole, flows from Heaven to the Soul.  © Ivan Borg
