                                                By: Cynthia Peterson

With music programs disappearing from school curriculums all over the San Fernando Valley, students flock to Hillcrest Christian School to participate in its internationally renowned choir under the tutelage of award winning director Galen Clark.  

Last spring the high school choir, along with school staff members and parent chaperones, toured England and Ireland where they performed in some of the oldest and most beautiful cathedrals in the world. “We are looking forward to touring again”, says Clark who anticipates coordinating another European tour in the spring of 2008. The choir also participates in local and national competitions. Multitudes of shining trophies adorn the halls of Hillcrest highlighting their talents.

High school and middle school students are not the only children enjoying the availability of music courses at Hillcrest. Music classes are part of the weekly curriculum for all students, kindergarten through 5th grade. Hillcrest also offers an elementary choir and an after school music academy where private and group lessons are available for students interested in learning guitar, piano, drums, violin or brass instruments.

To experience the magic of the Hillcrest choir join them for their free spring concert on Thursday May 24 at 7:00 PM at Shepherd of the Hills Church 19700 Rinaldi Street Porter Ranch 91326. Hillcrest is currently accepting enrollment applications for grades K-12 for the 2007/2008 school year. Call 818-368-7071 for more information.
