Organizations Filed Purposes: VOX FEMINA LOS ANGELES GIVES WOMEN VOICE THROUGH THE PERFORMANCE OF QUALITY CHORAL LITERATURE. DIVERSE IN CULTURE, AGE, RACE, BELIEF AND SEXUAL IDENTITY, WE ARE A CHORUS COMMITTED TO COMMISSIONING NEW WORKS AND RAISING AWARENESS ABOUT ISSUES THAT AFFECT US AS A FAMILY OF WOMEN. THROUGH MUSIC, WE AIM TO CREATE A WORLD THAT AFFIRMS THE WORTH AND DIGNITY OF EVERY PERSON.

VOX ORDINARILY PERFORMS THREE SUBSCRIPTION CONCERTS EACH SEASON (ONE AT THE FIRST CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH OF LOS ANGELES, AND TWO AT THE COLBURN SCHOOL'S ZIPPER CONCERT HALL). IN NOVEMBER OF 2019, VOX PERFORMED "VOICES AWAKENED: DA VINCI, VIVALDI, VOX," WHICH FEA-TURED A NEWLY COMMISSIONED WORK BY JOCELYN HAGEN ENTITLED THE NOTEBOOKS OF LEONARDO DA VINCI AND INCLUDED A CUTTING-EDGE MULTI-MEDIA PIECE. VOXS MARCH AND JUNE CONCERTS WERE CANCELLED DUE TO THE PANDEMIC, AND IN LIEU OF LIVE PERFORMANCES VOX PIVOTED TO DIGI-TAL CONTENT, PRODUCING SEVERAL VIRTUAL CHOIR PIECES, INCLUDING REFUGEE BY MOIRA SMILEY. VOX ORDINARILY PRODUCES THREE FREE COMMUNITY CONCERTS PER YEAR IN PARTNERSHIP WITH GRANTING AGENCIES FROM THE CITY OF CULVER CITY, THE CITY OF WEST HOLLYWOOD AND THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES. DURING THE TAX YEAR, ALL THREE OF THESE PERFORMANCES WERE CANCELLED DUE TO THE PANDEMIC. INSTEAD, VOX SHARED DIGITAL CONTENT WITH THE CON-GREGATIONS OF THE CHURCHES AND SYNAGOGUE WHERE THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN PERFORMED (CULVER CITY PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH, PICO UNION PROJECT, AND CONGREGATION KOL AMI). VOX ALSO FREQUENTLY PERFORMS AT COMMUNITY EVENTS THROUGHOUT LOS ANGELES.

VOX CONTINUES TO EXPAND ITS COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT PROGRAMS. THROUGH THE MUSIC ENRICHMENT PROGRAM, MIDDLE SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS EXPLORE THE CHORAL ART FORM THROUGH INTERACTIVE TALKS, GAMES, AND SINGING, FOLLOWED BY FREE ATTENDANCE AT A VOX CONCERT. THE CHOIR MENTORSHIP PROGRAM, OFFERED TO MIDDLE SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOL CHOIRS, INCLUDES THE PROVISION OF A FREE SET OF SCORES TO A WORK IN VOX'S SEASON REPERTOIRE; A WORKSHOP WITH VOX'S ASSISTANT CONDUCTOR; AND FREE ATTENDANCE AT A CONCERT.
