Dear Applicant:
Thank you for your interest in applying for a internship with the Moreno Valley Master Chorale. The Chorale was established in 1986 by Dr. Rudy Sun. We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, and any donations to the Chorale are tax deductible. Our mission is to produce, promote, and preserve the live choral experience by fostering community involvement in the vocal arts, while nurturing the joy of musical expression for all.
In line with the above mission statement, we are offering full tuition of $200 for one year to a few qualified applicants. The Moreno Valley Master Chorale is offering this program to help qualified high school juniors or seniors receive advanced musical training and singing experience by participating with the chorale as we perform several concerts during the year. Each applicant will need to be recommended by his/her high school music instructor, fill out an application, have parental permission forms signed, audition for the Chorale, and be willing to meet the rehearsal and performance guidelines outlined below in this letter.
