Sentimientos a flor de piel. Una voz de muchas almas. Un alma en la voz. Cada días luchamos por conseguirlo. Y así, creando armonías, una treintena de voces femeninas nos unimos para poder hacer realidad aquello que más queremos, música. Con orígenes musicales distintos, como son el Coro de la Politécnica y el Coro de Jóvenes de la Comunidad de Madrid, buscamos cobijo bajo la rigurosa y expresiva mano de nuestro maestro, José de Felipe, que siempre nos ha guiado ya fuese desde nuestro nacimiento o desarrollo musical. Así, queriendo dedicarle una pequeña muestra de nuestro respeto y agradecimiento por su arduo trabajo con todas nosotras, nuestra agrupación lleva su nombre con orgullo: Voces Blancas José de Felipe.  less
