New Orleans Children’s Choir Festival

We traveled to the Big Easy to participate in the Crescent City Children’s Choir Festival, a premier event celebrating youth choral music. Our singers elevatedtheir performance skills under the guidance of esteemed clinicians Bob Chilcott and Cheryl Dupont and connected with other young vocalists from across the nation. Participating in this festival provided an enriching educational and cultural experience as we shared our music and learned from peers in a vibrant, supportive environment.

Where the Light Begins – Merry Month of May 2025

Where does music come from?
From light that touches the treetops…
From wings that shimmer and water that runs…
It begins in nature.
It begins in us.
We follow the song—
To where the light begins.
