After only a year and a half he dropped out but continued to educate himself while working full-time at the Brooklyn Museum. He moved to Brooklyn to attend art school at Pratt Institute. Some of his earliest inspirations were the crayons and coloring books his mom would buy for him and his older sister, drawing and handwriting competitions with classmates and an illustrated bible he received for Christmas in the 2nd grade. Growing up in the 70's in central New Jersey, his family didn't have much money for art supplies but he made the best of what was available discarded paper, blank end pages from old books and sometimes walls much to his mother's chagrin. "Sean Qualls finds inspiration everywhere. Tickets for the May 6 concert are available at Qualls, award-winning illustrator, artist & author Students are trained in opera, diction, auditioning, Kodály, Dalcroze Eurythmics, composition, and conducting. National Children's Chorus trains more than 1,000 students in 30 choirs housed in chapter cities in Los Angeles, New York, Washington, D.C., San Francisco, Austin, Dallas, and Boston. Titled "All You Need is Love," the gala will support the group's scholarship fund. The concert evening precedes a gala for the ensemble, set for May 9 at the Ukranian Institute of America in NYC. Through performances on historic stages like Carnegie, they share their exceptional musical artistry with the world and further our mission to reach and inspire children globally." At the NCC, we give students the training and support they need to fully develop and express their talents. “The May 6 concert is a reminder of what can happen when young people are nourished and encouraged to use their voices for the greater good. “Every child deserves music in their life,” says McEndarfer, the group's artistic director.
The ensemble, made up of young singers aged 10 to 18, will be led by conductors Luke McEndarfer, Dr. Thomas and Langston Hughes' "I Dream a World," along with works by Sharon Farber, Ola Gjeilo, and Eric Whitacre. The multi-cultural offerings will include the world premieres of Gaayatri Kaundinya's"Diya Jalein," the Spanish lullaby "A La Nanita Nana" by Carlos Cordero, Andy Beck's arrangement of the Nigerian carol "Betelehemu," and André J. The evening, titled Voices of Action, Creating a World of Belonging, previews music the group is set to record at London's famed Abbey Road Studios this summer, part of their forthcoming holiday music album. The Grammy-winning National Children's Chorus will make its solo concert debut at Carnegie Hall's Stern Auditorium/Perelman Stage May 6 at 3 PM.
