About WORLD VOICES HOUSTON (dba International Voices Houston)

International Voices Houston (operating as World Voices Houston) is a Houston-based multicultural community choir that performs choral music from around the world in a wide variety of languages and styles. The ensemble emphasizes cultural exchange, education, and community-building through public concerts, collaborations with local arts organizations, and outreach activities.

Founded from a community choir tradition that began in 1999 (originally associated with the United Nations Association), the organization today fields a 100+ voice ensemble representing more than 30 nationalities and presents multi-language concert programs each season. The choir maintains an active performance schedule, artists-in-residence and partnerships with local venues and arts groups, and a board/staff that oversee regular seasons, community appearances, and volunteer-driven operations.

The EIN 45-5051874 was confirmed on the organization's official website and is reflected in publicly available nonprofit filings; the choir files annual Form 990 returns and continues to operate as a donor-facing 501(c)(3) arts organization serving Greater Houston.
