Sending Leah to the A Cappella Academy in Los Angeles!

Whanganui, Manawatu-Wanganui

Leah has received the exciting news that she has been accepted into the A Cappella Academy in LA, USA, for their July 2026 session. She was one of approximately 350 young people auditioning online worldwide for only around 90 places on a 10-day intensive singing programme, and she got in. She has savings for just this kind of thing, and a part-time job and will be doing other fundraising (watch out for performances in Whanganui if you're local). She would love your support to help her get there.

Many alumni credit A Cappella Academy with providing the skills, mentorship, and industry connections they needed to pursue their dreams. Leah will gain incredible memories and professional recordings as well as the tools and relationships to succeed as a musician, collaborator, and leader.
