ANGEL CITY CHORALE ROCKS FIRST SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM

We are proud to announce the Beverly Padway Memorial Scholarship Vocal Competition! Graduating high school seniors and 1st/2nd year college students with a focus in music are eligible to apply. Two winners will be selected and announced in early May and will be presented during our spring concert, 30 Rocks!

These scholarships are made possible by a generous legacy gift from Beverly Padway, a 25-year member of Angel City Chorale. She was an educator and lover of all genres of music, especially choral music. We are honored to name this scholarship in her memory.

YOUTH CHORAL PROGRAMS ROCK!

Recently, Chorus America published a study about the benefits of Youth Choral Programs! Here are our top 5 from that list:

  1. Choir is FUN and an activity a young person can continue for their entire life!
  2. Children’s choirs help young people embrace diversity and inclusion through exposure to different types of people and singing music from many different cultures.
  3. 80% of educators reported that choir students were better participants in groups, had developed stronger social skills, and improved emotional expression and management.
  4. Choir helps develop qualities conducive to learning and development: memory, comprehension, time management and more.
  5. Children’s choirs provide a safe and loving environment with a community of singers, creating memories to last a lifetime!
