LCHS Choir to Perform at Community Center

Fresh off their international tour of France, the award winning La Cañada High School Chamber Singers will be performing at the Community Center of La Cañada Flintridge on Tuesday, April 16 at noon. Under the direction of Dr. Jeff Brookey, the 30 high schoolers will draw from a wide repertoire of classical, popular and gospel music to entertain our local seniors.

The LCHS Chamber Choir has participated in several choral festivals over the year and has consistently been awarded a “superior” ranking. Over spring break the choristers travelled to France to perform at the Normandy American Cemetery to honor U.S. WWII veterans and the cathedral in Rouen. Their tour culminated with a concert at Notre Dame in Paris.
