Stars of Tomorrow | South Coast Singers

South Coast Singers feels strongly that giving back to the community through outreach programs is an important part of their musical mission. To that end, an annual event was established more than ten years ago. Known as Stars of Tomorrow, this program provides an opportunity for young Orange County high school vocalists to compete for scholarship money intended to assist them in pursuing their career goals. After an initial audition involving more than 35 vocalists, approximately 18 are chosen to go on to the competition. More than $5,000 in prize money is given away each year in two categories: Classical and Musical Theatre. Judges consist of prominent local musical professionals who support this event with their time and talent.
