PCH is uniquely composed of dedicated men who love to sing, all volunteers. If you are a man who loves to sing, or know someone who would enjoy the thrill of ringing chords and bringing joy to enthusiastic audiences of all ages, PCH is now accepting new members for the upcoming concert season.

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 events. Today, Royce’s Voices is excited to add Hashinger Hall to their venue list and the privilege to share with you the joy that only a cappella music of the Holidays can present. Thank you for kicking o your Holiday Season with us. 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-prot organization.
