high school choir festival
Tuesday, May 3, 2005 at 10:30 am
Listen up. There are some wonderfully gifted teenage choristers ready to sing their hearts out for you. Under the tutelage of Music Director Grant Gershon, our annual High School Choir Festival has morphed into a massive 900-voice choir. Now in its sixteenth year, the festival features young men and women from more than 20 high schools across the Southland.
This day-long event is the culmination of a year-long music education program that provides training for young singers. Gershon mentors the choir directors and conducts regional rehearsals prior to the festival. Join us for two special events. In the morning, you’ll enjoy select performances by some of the top ensembles in a Showcase of Choirs and applaud all the participants at our Awards Ceremony. Then come back after your lunch break for a concert by the massed choirs joined by the Master Chorale. We’re proud to show off these youngest members of our extended Chorale family!
Concert sponsors: This concert is sponsored in part by the City of Los Angeles Cultural Affairs Department and the Los Angeles County Arts Commission.
