A Howell High School vocal music ensemble and student have been named All-State Finalists by the Michigan School Vocal Music Association (MSVMA). The Highlander Chorale was named an MSVMA All-State Large Ensemble, and senior Kaiyah Luethy was selected as an MSVMA All-State Soloist. This prestigious honor recognizes outstanding performances at the MSVMA State Solo and Ensemble Festival.
“Each year, only a small number of the most distinguished soloists and ensembles from across the state earn the All-State designation, reflecting months of preparation, skill and commitment,” said Anthony Funaro, Howell High School director of vocal music. “We are incredibly proud of both the Highlander Chorale and Kaiyah.”
Both the Highlander Chorale and Luethy will represent the state of Michigan at the MSVMA All-State Festival, which will be held May 8–10 at Michigan State University’s Fairchild Theater. The festival celebrates the musical accomplishments of choral programs across Michigan.
