MKA's Kiki Porter '18 makes the NJ All-State Chorus!

A huge congratulations to Upper School Chamber Singers member Kiki Porter '18, for her acceptance into the prestigious NJ All-State Chorus 2016. Out of the 1,100-1,200 students from the state of NJ who audition for this group, only 325 are accepted. To audition, students are required to sing scales, a solo and a choral piece. Kiki auditioned as a Soprano I and made it into theNJ Mixed Chorus with very high scores!

This is the first time in over 50 years that the MKA Chorus Program has sent students to audition for the All-State Chorus. It is a huge commitment from choral directors and one that we are lucky our Upper School Choral Director Maria Gilmartin, does willingly. It is required that the director be a member of the NJMEA and is willing to assist with rehearsals, events and other responsibilities to give these students the opportunity to audition and participate in the program, if accepted.

Kiki begins rehearsals in June for her performances in two important concerts in the fall in Atlantic City and at the NJPAC, where she will represent MKA wearing our school colors and logo while on stage.

Congratulations Kiki on this tremendous accomplishment, we wish you the best of luck!
