The Los Angeles Children’s Chorus (LACC) and Heart of Los Angeles  (HOLA) are teaming up to bring the LACC’s famed music education program to the HOLA campus.

The program offered, at no cost to HOLA participants, will feature two ensembles for children ages 8-11 “with the goal to add advanced ensembles in future years based on demand as children progress through LACC’s tiered multi-choir program.”

Rehearsals will be held on Saturday mornings for 12 weeks.

“Los Angeles Children’s Chorus is thrilled to partner with HOLA to expand its program in such a meaningful and impactful way,” said LACC Artistic Director Malvar-Ruiz in an official press statement issued by the company. “Extending LACC’s reach to HOLA’s constituents to provide access to the transformational power of choral music reflects LACC’s deep commitment to serving students who represent richly diverse racial, economic, and cultural backgrounds. HOLA, with its stellar reputation for serving Central and South Central LA with meaningful programs and its deep roots there, is the perfect partner. This is the first of many such collaborations planned for LACC. LACC is expanding throughout the Los Angeles region in order to provide children access to LACC’s program in their own communities. We want to make it convenient for children – and their families – to participate in LACC’s transformative program right where they live.”
