Chorus America, the nation's preeminent advocacy, research, and leadership development organization in the choral field, has announced the recipients of its 2024 awards. VOX Femina Los Angeles is honored to be the recipient of the prestigious Margaret Hillis Award.
The award, given in memory of the founder and long-time conductor of the Chicago Symphony Chorus, is presented to a member chorus that demonstrates both artistic achievement and a strong organizational structure with financial stability for a significant period of time. The awardee also exhibits a commitment to access, diversity, equity and inclusion, community engagement, and education.
“Chorus America is thrilled to honor these exceptional choruses and choral leaders who enrich our communities and inspire us through their outstanding work,” said Chorus America president and CEO Catherine Dehoney. “Their artistry, dedication, and the joy they bring to their work moves the choral field forward.”
VOX will be presented with the award at this year's Chorus America conference in Atlanta, Georgia. VOX is incredibly grateful to be recognized in this way by its peers.
“I am extraordinarily proud that we have received Chorus America’s 2024 Margaret Hillis Award,” said VOX founding artistic director Dr. Iris S. Levine. “Many years ago, I had the distinct privilege of studying with Ms. Hillis, a trailblazer for women in the choral arts, and having VOX connected to her name and legacy is a tremendous honor. VOX Femina is truly grateful to Chorus America for this wonderful recognition.”
