Two Quaker Valley Students Selected to All-National Honors Choir

Not one, but two Quaker Valley High School vocalists have been selected to the National Association for Music Education All-National Honors Choir.  

Rising seniors Joseph Daval and Nicholas Medich will perform during the national music conference Oct. 27-30, 2013, in Nashville, TN.

This marks the first time in school history that Quaker Valley students have been selected for this national honor.

“Selection to the All-National Honors Choir is a first for QV,” Matthew Boice, choral director, said. “One is special; but two is amazing.”

Joseph and Nicholas were selected to the All-National Honors Choir based upon competitive audition. Eligible candidates must be in grades 10-12 and had participated in their state’s 2012-13 All-State Festival. 

The All-National Honors Choir will be directed by Rollo Dilworth, associate professor of choral music education and chair of the music education department at Temple University’s Boyer School of Music and Dance in Philadelphia. He previously served as director of choral activities and music education at North Park University in Chicago for 13 years. Dilworth holds degrees from Case Western Reserve University, University of Missouri-St. Louis and Northwestern University. He has written and/or arranged more than 150 choral works that are currently in print.
