Supporting Choral Education in Colorado
Kantorei believes every student should have the opportunity to discover the joy, community, and lifelong impact of singing.
Many of our own singers first found their voices in middle and high school choir programs. We created the Elevate Classroom Grant and Alison N. Roman Memorial Scholarship to help more young people access meaningful choral experiences and continue their musical journeys.
Together, these programs support Colorado students, educators, and school choral programs by helping remove financial barriers to participation in choral music.
