Project Description

With support from the California Arts Council, VOX FEMINA LOS ANGELES will present its Concert for Youth for over 800 public school students, featuring high-quality choral music and informative commentary, followed by a Youth Choir Festival, where six high school choirs will be adjudicated by a panel of choral professionals.

Organization Summary

VOX has performed with the Colburn Orchestra in Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9, at the Valley Performing Arts Center; the LA Philharmonic and the LA Master Chorale in Mahler’s Symphony No. 8 at the Shrine Auditorium; and with the LA Philharmonic in a Disney Hall performance of Gustav Holst’s The Planets, conducted by Gustavo Dudamel. VOX was awarded the San Francisco Classical Voice Audience Choice Award for the Best Choral Performance of the 2019-2020 season in the LA area. In 2024, VOX was awarded the Margaret Hillis Award for Artistic and Organizational Achievement by Chorus America, and made its debut at Carnegie Hall with National Concerts.

VOX’s season is comprised of three subscription concerts (at the Colburn School’s Zipper Concert Hall and First Congregational Church of Los Angeles), three free community concerts, an informal cabaret night, and numerous guest appearances at events throughout greater Los Angeles. Since the pandemic, VOX has continued to live stream its content in order to serve the audience gained through digital content, and to allow for greater accessibility to our concerts.

VOX’s Music Education Program serves public school children in underserved L.A. neighborhoods with a four-tiered program: the Concert for Youth (to which public school students are bused to a VOX concert during school hours), the Youth Choir Festival (a performance clinic for up to six high school choirs), the Choral Scholar Program (offering qualified high school applicants the opportunity to rehearse and perform with VOX, including one-on-one mentorship by VOX’s Assistant Conductor for 12 weeks, with participation in VOX’s June concert marking the culmination of the program), and the Justice Choir (a 14-week program teaching the fundamentals of choral singing to students at schools with little or no music programming.
