Thomas Cooke

Board President, Voce

Thomas Cooke (Tommy) started singing as a treble in the boys choir at Trinity Church On-the-Green in New Haven, Connecticut when he was seven years old, and hasn’t stopped since. He co-founded the Hartford-based professional choral ensemble Voce together with artistic director Mark Singleton in 2006. In the new post-COVID era, Voce is broadening its mission to Serve Harmony to be clear about Voce's commitment to make the choral experience available, in the broadest sense,  to everybody. Tommy worked closely with leadership in the Hartford community to co-create Voices of Hartford - an ensemble designed to provide Hartford’s young minority residents with the opportunity to make music together in a safe space. Tom currently sits as president of Voce’s board of directors. In addition to singing, Tommmy is a classically trained clarinetist.  He is a graduate of Harvard College and The Law School, University of Chicago.
