Broadway Inspirational Voices Gets New Leader
After serving as the director of the Tony-winning non-profit choir Broadway Inspirational Voices, the group's founder Michael McElroy is stepping down. Effective on June 30, McElroy will pass the title to composer/lyricist and producer Allen René Louis, who is currently the Associate Artistic Director and a member of the choir. McElroy established Broadway Inspirational Voices in 1994 in response to the AIDS epidemic. "For 27, Broadway Inspirational Voices has been my heart,” said McElroy. “I do not look at this moment as an ending but a time for new beginnings. I am excited for what the future holds, and I am so thrilled to be leaving BIV in the exceptional hands of my friend Allen. When he joined BIV three years ago, I immediately recognized his talent and drive and have been preparing him to take the artistic reins.” Louis was recently the composer, lyricist, arranger and music director for the inaugural Antonyo Awards.
