Ensemble Royale Is Featured In
Showcase of Choirs at
Walt Disney Concert Hall: 20th Annual High School Choir Festival
On April 24th, Louisville High School’s Ensemble Royale,
conducted by Ms. Maura Piazza, was featured as a
solo choir at the Walt Disney Concert Hall during the 20th Annual High School
Choir Festival, sponsored by the Los Angeles Master Chorale. Of the 25
choirs participating in the event, four were selected to perform a selection of
music on center stage and receive feedback from professionals. 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!
