Western Music develops talent in High School Vocal Competition
Powerful, melodic vocals resonated through von Kuster Hall, leaving the judges “blown away.”
Twenty-six students competed in this year’s High School Vocal Competition at the Don Wright Faculty of Music. In its second year as an in-person event, the competition attracted twice as many participants as last year.
“We were so impressed – not only with the turnout, but with their vocal talent, and the level of preparedness and professionalism they brought,” said Bethany Hörst, coordinator of the competition, and voice instructor at Western.
“They are all so gifted in their own right.”
