Big Voice follows the tumultuous yearlong journey of bigger-than-life choir director Jeffe Huls and his advanced co-ed ensemble “The Madrigals” as they strive to create extraordinary music within the context of a public school. Mr. Huls’ passion for the choral arts and music literacy powers his determination to maintain rigorous standards and expectations. Following a series of competitive auditions, Mr. Huls compiles his dream ensemble – the most ideal combination of voices he's ever had. Soon he discovers that these 32 talented teenagers are also the most unwieldy group he has ever taught. Mr. Huls must convince his students to set aside their egos, conflicting styles and teenage angst to achieve the exquisite sound he knows they are capable of.
