On September 13, 2025, Voices of Fire performed in St. Peter’s Square during Grace for the World, giving the audience an unforgettable experience. With their powerful and spiritually charged voices, they offered one of the most intense moments of an already extraordinary evening.
The audience was overwhelmed by their renditions of THE ONE (featuring Pharrell Williams), ANYWHERE and MIRACLE WORKER, tracks from the new album, as part of a stellar cast that also included Andrea Bocelli, John Legend, Clipse, Jennifer Hudson and Karol G.
It all came with perfect timing: just a week before the concert, the choir had released OPHANIM, officially opening a new chapter in their career.

The origins of Voices of Fire
The gospel choir was born thanks to the Netflix docuseries of the same name, in which Pharrell Williams, along with his uncle Bishop Ezekiel Williams, hatched an ambitious project: to create a world-class gospel choir. Set in Hampton Roads, Virginia (Pharrell’s hometown), the program was able to unite voices from different generations and backgrounds.
Their fame rose quickly with JOY (Unspeakable), a track in which Pharrell’s production blends seamlessly with the gospel chorus, resulting in an overwhelming gospel-pop fusion.
But Voices of Fire doesn’t just shine on the music scene: fashion lovers saw them star in Pharrell’s debut as creative director in a men’s fashion show in 2023 and during this year’s Paris Fashion Week, where they participated in the runway show for Louis Vuitton’s Spring/Summer 2026 collection, A combination of style and spirituality that brought the choir into the international spotlight.
