Background
The Philadelphia Singers launched the Mentor Program in 2003. The Mentor program provides talented high school students with the opportunity to experience the entire creative process from an audition to rehearsals to performances alongside a professional member of The Philadelphia Singers Chorale.
The Philadelphia Singers' mentor program is an intensive program that is offered for eleventh and twelfth grade students who are currently involved in their school's music program or who have demonstrated a significant interest in or talent for music. The program is small, but it is the program's intimate nature which allows the students to receive an exceptional hands-on and in-depth experience.
