Organized by the Southern California Vocal Association (SCVA) in collaboration with the California Choral Directors Association (CCDA), the All-State Honor Choir auditions draw thousands of talented high school singers from across the state.

Granada Hills Charter (GHC) is proud to celebrate the talents of one of its vocal music students, Ruchira Mukherjee. She was recently accepted into the prestigious California All-State Honor Choir, a remarkable accomplishment highlighting her dedication, skill, and passion for music.

Organized by the Southern California Vocal Association (SCVA) in collaboration with the California Choral Directors Association (CCDA), the All-State Honor Choir auditions draw thousands of talented high school singers from across the state. These auditions include rigorous components, such as singing an Italian aria, completing musicianship tests, and passing music literacy assessments. Ruchira’s exceptional performance during this process earned her a coveted spot among the state’s top vocalists.

The journey to this honor began earlier in the fall when Ruchira and fellow GHC choir student Charlotte Au were accepted into the regional honor choirs. From there, Ruchira’s outstanding scores propelled her into the highly competitive All-State Honor Choir.

From January 16–18, Ruchira rehearsed and performed alongside the finest high school singers in California. The experience culminated in a memorable performance on January 18, 2025, at the Sacramento Memorial Auditorium—a showcase of talent and collaboration that underscored the incredible dedication of these young musicians.

We are immensely proud of Ruchira’s accomplishment and grateful for the opportunity to spotlight her as an inspiring representative of the talent and hard work that defines GHC students. This achievement reflects not only her individual excellence but also the strength of our performing arts program.
