Special Needs Chorus

Based in Morristown, NJ

Joyful Noise is a chorus of forty-five adults, ages 17-70, with physical and neurological challenges and acquired brain injuries. Founded in 2000 by Director Allison Fromm and her sister, chorus member Beth Fromm, the ensemble is hosted by Bancroft, in southern New Jersey and Delaware. Joyful Noise fosters an atmosphere of community, acceptance, and teamwork in which members can discover their voices and express themselves through music. As one singer explains, "It makes me feel famous and proud!" Another reveals, "It's my life's dream to be an entertainer forever.... and my dream came true!" The chorus serves as a model and a resource for similar ensembles that seek to develop in their members a sense of pride, confidence, and the potential to contribute to our world.
