R OYC E ’ S V O I C E SPraised for their tight harmonies with a rich
and seamless blend of voices, Royce’s Voices
is an award-winning men’s a cappella
ensemble from San Diego. Founded in 1998
by Royce Ferguson as part of the San Diego
State University Community Music School,
the group was initially called America’s
Finest City Singers. As word spread about this ensemble however, a short and fun nickname
quickly appeared – Royce’s Voices – and the name stuck.
The men of Royce’s Voices hold a very special place in their hearts for the Holiday Season.
Through the years, Royce’s Voices has performed in many San Diego venues, including
Copley Symphony Hall, the Neurosciences Institute, Mandeville Auditorium and many more.
Of all of these wonderful performances, a treasured highlight of the year is always
performing at Balboa Park as part of the festive December Nights event. Today, Royce’s
Voices is excited to share with you the joy that only a cappella music of the Holidays can
present. Thank you for joining us and enjoy!
Royce’s Voices is proud to be a part of our local music community with performances, clinics and other educational programs as a 501(c)(3) non-pro�t organization. Learn more:
