Oxy Invites Local Singers to Join College Chorus

Do you love to sing? Can you hold a tune?

If you answered “Yes!” to both those questions and live in Eagle Rock, Highland Park, Mt. Washington or nearby, here’s some good news: You are invited to join the prestigious, 105-year-old chorus.

“We want Oxy to be an integral part of the larger community,” Occidental College Associate Director of Communications Rhea Borja told Patch on Thursday. “So we hope a few local singers will join us!”

The Oxy ensemble is comprised of Occidental students, alumni, employees and local community members. Its next concert is scheduled for April 28. The choir practices every Monday night, from 7:30-9:45 p.m., at Booth Hall on the Oxy campus.

Singers interested in joining the chorus should contact Choral Program Director Desiree LaVertu at lavertu@oxy.edu or call (323) 259-1333.

Correction: The initial version of this article incorrectly identified the Oxy chorus with the college's Glee Club, which consists of students.
