"Voices of Jubilation Choir", Newark, New Jersey, directed by Stefanie R. Minatee, was established in October 1998 under the auspices of the New Jersey Performing Arts Center. It is a culturally mixed aggregation of auditioned voices, committed to singing African American sacred music with an emphasis on Gospel music.
