Choral Scholars Program

During the year leading up to our 20th anniversary season in 2006-2007, we established an ongoing scholarship program for young experienced singers who want an opportunity to sing with a community choir and/or are currently pursuing studies in music. Any exceptional young singers who may be interested in this program should contact Stephanie Martin at stephanie.martin@paxchristichorale.org.
