San Gabriel Valley Choral Company Presents “A Soulful Celebration”

Monrovia, CA (June 12, 2016) – The San Gabriel Valley Choral Company (SGVCC) presents “A Soulful Celebration!” on June 25, 2016 at 7:00 pm. The evening will also include the chorus’ annual silent auction fundraiser. The concert will feature performances of classic soul hits by Michael Jackson, Etta James, Quincy Jones, Aretha Franklin, and Bill Withers, in addition to uplifting spirituals and gospel songs that will leave the audience with a smile on their face and a song in their heart. The performance will be accompanied by a live band, will include guest soloists, and will be the second concert this season to include “Kids in Concert!”

A mostly volunteer ensemble with deep roots in Monrovia, SGVCC was founded in this charming town in 1995. In 2012, consummate conductor and soloist Dr. Zanaida Robles (www.zanaidarobles.com) became SGVCC’s artistic director. A Monrovia native, Dr. Robles studied with SGVCC’s founder while attending Los Angeles County High School for the Arts (LACHSA). Having earned her doctorate in choral music at the University of Southern California, her prior credits include serving as director of LACHSA’s classical choirs, teaching at Glendale Community College, and preparing elite choirs for performances with such greats as Josh Groban and Kristin Chenoweth.
