Village Voices Gives $14,000 to Local Schools and Student Vocalists

The Village Voices Chorale gave $14,000 as grants to 21 elementary schools and scholarships to 5 local college students in Spring, 2011, and over $100,000 in the last 10 years!

Because the members of the chorale love to sing, and know well the benefits of singing, they began years ago to promote vocal programs in local elementary schools.  The chorale performs two concerts a year and uses the proceeds to give grants to the schools for such items as buying or tuning pianos, purchasing music, or even providing transportation for a chorus to a local district musical program.

Serious college vocal students are also encouraged through scholarships, and member of the Chorale would be happy to tell you of several such students who are now entertaining audiences worldwide.

A local school's chorus and one of this year's scholarship winners were guest performers at the Village Voices concert "Goin' Global and Back to Broadway" on Friday, June 3rd, and Saturday, June 4th, 2011.
