About The Westbrook Village Voices

  The Westbrook Village Voices is an adult, community choir who come together each week during the performing arts season, October-April, to sing and have FUN! Each season, we produce a Holiday Concert and Spring Concert at the Westbrook Village Vistas Ballroom featuring beautiful vocal music. We also perform our shows at local senior living centers in the Peoria area as part of our mission to “bring joy and inspiration” to as many people as possible. Come share our passion for music and experience the joy of singing with the Westbrook Village Voices!  For more information, contact Nancy Connolly, Village Voices President at (602) 380-9315 or via email at WBVillageVoices@gmail.com.

choir director (OPEN Position)

The Village Voices is currently seeking a Choir Director to lead our dynamic singing group. Please contact Nancy Connolly at (602) 380-9315 or via email at WBVillageVoices@gmail.com.

OUR Choir Accompanist

Nola Freed, a native of western Arizona, grew up in Yuma. She began piano lessons at the age of 11 and in high school, applied her considerable musical talents to learning the tenor saxophone. Nola played in her Yuma high school jazz and concert bands, and was chosen as the accompanist for her high school choir and several other choral groups.


Nola attended University of Arizona in Tucson where she earned a degree in Elementary Education, while minoring in music. After college, Nola embarked on a career in education, teaching kindergarten and first grade in Yuma and Casa Grande for 39 wonderful years!


While at the University of Arizona, Nola met her husband Jerry and they recently celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary.


They have two children, Clayton, who works for the City of Phoenix and Jodie, a Nurse Practitioner, who lives in St. Louis, MO, with husband Jared – and Nola and Jerry’s two beloved grandsons.


Nola has a wealth of musical experience. She has played in and directed multiple church and school events, including being selected as the accompanist for an Arizona Western Community College graduation. Nola studied piano under Charles Phillips in Yuma and her favorite piano, although not an oft heard of brand, is Young Chang, a well-respected maker of a small and very exclusive collection of grand pianos. When not playing the piano, Nola’s hobbies include reading, quilting (newly excited beginner) and listening to gospel or classical music.


 Nola and Jerry retired from teaching in Casa Grande and moved to Westbrook Village two years ago. They were attracted to the friendliness of Westbrook Village and the variety of available activities.  


Nola is excited to return to accompanying a choir and is looking forward to being a part of the Village Voices.
