LAS VEGAS ACADEMY SINGERS
The school’s top vocal ensemble, the Las Vegas Academy Singers is the choir all majors aspire to reach. The Academy Singers is a select group of students chosen for their high level of musicianship and their ability to blend in the ensemble. They perform a variety of musical genres written for 4 – 16+ voice parts.
This choir has traveled all over the United States, and has participated in various choir festivals overseas. The choir is in top demand during the Holiday Season as a caroling ensemble, performing around the Las Vegas valley. Thousands are inspired every year by their traditional adaptations of holiday music.
Because this is the premier ensemble at the Las Vegas Academy, professional attitude is regarded just as importantly as musical ability. The Las Vegas Academy Singers are the ‘voice’ of the school, and this responsibility is taken very seriously by all members and choir directors.
BELLA VOZ
Las Vegas Academy’s most select women’s vocal ensemble, Bella Voz has consistently been one of the school’s most popular.
