LAMORINDA IDOL

LAMORINDA IDOL

It is that exciting time of year again and the Lamorinda Arts Council has graciously agreed to sponsor an upcoming "Lamorinda Idol 2024". This program will hold physical auditions with summer activities and the Final show at the end of summer. It will run from April 2024 - August 2024. 
Singers from Lamorinda are eligible to join us if they live or attend school in the area as of May 2024. Singers may audition as soloists or groups, given that if they enter as a group, one member must meet the requirements. 
Registration is open from April 1 - April 30, 2024. Students will need to register through lamorindaarts.org to access the Participation Registration Form starting April 1, 2024. Also at the website, your students will find the Program Description that will provide them with all the information and details.
Lamorinda Idol 2024 is a great way for students to express themselves creatively and find joy through music.
