Project Description
With support from the California Arts Council, VOENA will provide its VOENA In Schools program to Mary Farmar and Robert Semple Elementary Schools, two Title 1 schools in Benicia, CA, providing excellence in singing and music education to under-resourced kids.
Organization Summary
VOENA children’s choir was founded in 1994 to fill a gap in public schools for music education. What began with a dozen children has since grown into a world-renowned children’s choir with 125 to 150 members ages 4 to 18 representing a diverse range of cultural backgrounds. With its home base in Benicia, VOENA serves members from throughout the North San Francisco Bay region.
The four major areas of musical programing include: 1. Ongoing vocal music training and development of choir members through regular rehearsals and lessons; 2. public performances and global tours, 3. VOENA in the Schools (VIS) programs; 4. need-based scholarships so no child is excluded due to inability to pay.
