This past June, the AOTHS Advanced Women’s Choir was given the incredible opportunity to perform at New York City’s famous Carnegie Hall. They were one of a small group of choirs invited to perform.

Our Advanced Women’s Choir, led by music teacher, Sinamar Respicio, travelled all the way to NYC where they spent a few days rehearsing with other invited choirs and exploring the city.

The performance was a big hit and we are so proud of our

Advanced Women’s Choir for achieving this great honor.
