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 fifteen 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 14 vocalists are chosen to go on to the competition. More than $5,000 in prize money is given away each year in three categories: Classical, Musical Theatre, and a new category this year, Commercial. Judges consist of prominent local qualified musicians, performers and/or music instructors who support this event with their time and talent.
