Foundation for Small Voices

Mr. Núñez frequently collaborates with the Foundation for Small Voices, dedicated to using music to cross cultural, generational, and ideological boundaries to raise awareness and funds for national and international music and mentoring programs for children.  Projects include several recordings of holiday music, the sales of which are helping to support the foundation. The recordings include three singles -- Share the Joy, What is Christmas of, and I Wish -- and CoolSide of Yuletide, an entire album of traditional and new holiday music, highlighted by How Many Christmases, featuring Rosanne Cash and the voices of thousands of choristers from 10 countries brought together for just this occasion.  The recordings are all available on iTunes by clicking here.
