The Next Level - Vocal Opportunities in the Community! 🎶
This is an incredible, culturally relevant, inspirational performance ensemble!! 😎🌟 Think Miss Lyza style but times ten 😘... This organization partners with local artists and puts on powerful community performances!! 🦾 We worked with the Director last year at Honor Choir, we partnered with them last year for their Song Party, and this Aurora ensemble will be directed by a very good friend of mine, Mr. James Jenson!! ❣️ They just started an ensemble here in Aurora, and it would be fabulous to get some of our students involved!! 🤝 They usually require a fee, but there are tons of scholarships, and I know they're really trying to get the Aurora location going so they'll be accepting lots of singers without fees!! 👐 Please consider this amazing opportunity - I'll come support you at your concerts!! 👏
Here is another local vocal ensemble - this is Colorado Children's Choir!! 🌟 If you don't know about this organization, they are top notch!! 🫡 We have had strong connections with this organization in the past, and this will definitely help take your vocal and performing skills to the next level...! 🤩 These are audition ensembles, they encompass traditional approaches and advanced musicianship, and they perform at Boettcher at the the Denver Performing Arts Complex downtown, and they are certifiably incredible!! ✨ Please consider auditioning for this elite vocal ensemble - I will help you through it and they will even come to Murphy Creek for the auditions if we are interested! 🙌 This organization also has a fee, but they do have some scholarships.... And they also just opened an Aurora location!! 🤗 Let's see if we can get some students in on some of these ground-breaking musical experiences 🥹...!!
