The Choral Project

Each year, The Choral Project offers students who meet the entrance criteria and who exhibit the ability to rehearse and perform advanced choral literature a unique opportunity to perform with the award-winning ensemble. If you are, or know of, a student with a talent and passion for choral music, please contact our Artistic Director Daniel Hughes.

The Mentorship Program is open to all enrolled high-school students (grades 9-12) in San Mateo, Santa Clara, and Santa Cruz counties. A maximum of eight students (two students per part: soprano, alto, tenor, and bass) per year are admitted into the program at the sole discretion of The Choral Project Mentorship Program Committee. All applicants will be notified in writing of their admission or non-admission into the program.

Students will rehearse on Monday nights with The Choral Project for approximately 12 weeks. The schedule generally starts at the beginning of the year and culminates with concert performances at Mission Santa Clara and Holy Cross Church in Santa Cruz, in the spring.

Each participant will receive a $150 scholarship and a certificate of completion. The concert marks the culmination of the program. The students will also be recognized in the program and during the concert performances.
