Ensemble Royale Is Featured In
Showcase of Choirs at
Walt Disney Concert Hall
On April 18th, Louisville High School’s Ensemble Royale was featured as a
solo choir at the Walt Disney Concert Hall during the 19th Annual High School
Choir Festival, sponsored by the Los Angeles Master Chorale. Of the thirty
choirs participating in the event, four were selected to perform a selection of
music on center stage and receive feedback from professionals. Ensemble Royale,
conducted by Ms. Maura Piazza,
performed Salvation is
Created, Tomorrow Shall Be
My Dancing Day and Old Joe
Clark, featuring Samantha
Moraes on violin. They then
performed six prepared choral
pieces together with all
thirty participating choirs,
providing our all-girl choir a
unique opportunity to sing
in combined male/female
vocal arrangements. Bravo,
Ensemble Royale!
