Choral Scholar Program
VOX’s Choral Scholar Program offers qualified high school SSAA singers in grades 10-12 the opportunity to rehearse and perform with VOX, including one-on-one mentorship by VOX’s Associate Conductor for 12 weeks. Participation in VOX’s June concert marks the culmination of the program.
This is an extraordinary opportunity for young singers to learn from top professionals in the field, to rehearse and perform side-by-side with some of LA's finest choral singers, and to perform in a professional venue in front of hundreds of appreciative audience members. Participants receive a certificate of completion and letters of recommendation for college applications.

Eliana Yeager
2019 Choral Scholar
Being a VOX Choral Scholar presented me with a motivating challenge... VOX pushed me to improve my sight reading and music memorization. VOX introduced me to a community of inspiring mentors and exciting new repertoire!
Isabel van Aalst
2018 Choral Scholar
It was an enriching experience that taught me not only vocal and choral techniques that will last a lifetime, but the power of the female voice. I am to this day truly honored to have been part of such an incredible group.
Lauren Ashley
2023 Choral Scholar
Meeting new people with such amazing voices under the direction of a musically talented director was such a privilege. I gained not only music insight but life insight as well. This program was great and everyone should audition for it!
