Gabrielle (Gaby) Avila Dagher

Gaby Dagher’s journey into music began at age 13 when she joined the choir at St. Elizabeth Seton Catholic Church, where she met her lifelong mentor and collaborator, Carl Granieri.

As a mezzo-soprano with Voyces, Gaby’s powerful voice is matched only by her deep passion for music, even though she didn’t have formal training until recently. She has always been a natural, learning on the go and growing with each performance under Carl’s guidance.

Singing with the Voyces has been a dream come true for Gaby, who loves the way their harmonies blend and create something truly magical. Her love for the group goes beyond just the music; she cherishes the personal bonds she’s formed with her fellow musicians. For Gaby, music is more than a performance—it’s a way to worship, to connect, and to bring beauty into the world. When Gaby isn’t singing, she enjoys life’s simple pleasures with her husband, exploring the great outdoors, hiking, and tending to her garden and chickens. Whether in music or in life, Gaby finds joy in bringing harmony to the world around her.

Cassie Schultz, originally from Syracuse, New York, has been singing since she was in third grade. Now the alto voice in Voyces, she brings a wealth of talent and experience to the group. Cassie graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Music from Ave Maria University, where she studied voice under prominent instructors and earned recognition for her talent, including the Rising Star Award and accolades from the Tampa Bay Division of NATS.

Cassie has performed in a wide range of productions, from opera to musicals, taking on roles such as Cinderella in *Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella* and Josephine in *H.M.S. Pinafore*. She’s also had the opportunity to perform professionally with Opera Naples and is looking forward to the release of her upcoming album of original music.

For Cassie, joining Voyces has been an incredible experience, allowing her to channel her love of music into something meaningful. She feels blessed to share her voice and faith with audiences, always striving to inspire and uplift through her performances.

Brad Donnelly

Brad’s love for music started early, with his mother affectionately calling him “Bradley Bop” because of his constant dancing around the house. At five years old, he had his first encounter with music’s power—literally—getting a shock while trying to play a record by The Ventures. His musical journey officially began with the saxophone in school bands, followed by roles in high school theater productions like *Music Man* and *Godspell*. Brad’s passion for guitar flourished in high school, where he played in a rock band called Ocean, even recording a vinyl single that was played on local radio. After high school, Brad’s musical pursuits took him to college, where he fronted an alternative rock band called The Mess. Performing at college parties and local venues, the band was a staple on the scene. After graduating, Brad moved to Chicago, balancing his career at the *Chicago Tribune* with performing in a power trio that lit up iconic venues like The Metro and Beat Kitchen. Eventually, Brad transitioned into law but kept music alive through songwriting and collaboration.

Now in Naples, Florida, Brad continues to make music as part of Voyces, sharing his love for melody and harmony with the community. He’s also committed to guiding youth, whether coaching high school mock trial teams to victory or mentoring Boy Scouts. Through all his endeavors, music remains a constant source of joy and connection for Brad.
