The 35 voice ensemble rehearses at Lincoln Glen Church in the Willow Glen area of San José.</div> <div> The Choral Project has performed throughout Northern California in concert performances, interfaith services, and choral festivals. Some of these performances include the honor of being selected as a performing choir at the American Choral Directors Association Western Division Convention in Los Angeles (March 2000), the showcase choir for the National Association of Composers of the USA Composer’s Competition (November 2000), and the featured performing ensemble for the California Music Educators Association Conference (January 2001). In June 2001, The Choral Project embarked on its first international tour to Mexico and Costa Rica, reaching a larger audience and connecting with other choral ensembles. In October of 2002, the Choral Project represented the State of California at the National Cathedral in Washington D.C. at the State Day Celebration for California.</div> <div> Committed to a brighter future for our world, the Choral Project makes yearly contribution to charitable organizations, including Toys-for-Tots, Resource Area for Teachers, Aris, Big Brothers/Big Sisters, The Rain Forest Project, and SARDUS (Search and Rescue Dogs of the United States).</div> <div> Best Wishes,</div> <div> Michael Tierra</div> <bR> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
