"Through singing, we hope to let other vets who are still out there know there is another way." - George Hill Director, Songwriter, and New Directions Graduate |
| The New Directions Choir consists of current and former residents of New Directions. The New Directions Choir performs a cappella versions of both popular songs and traditional gospel music. The Choir has performed at more than 100 events, including the Donnie and Marie Show and at the Democratic National Convention. The New Directions Choir has won numerous awards, including "First Place" at the National Veterans Creative Arts Festival in Washington, D.C.. The competition was hosted by the Washington D.C. VA Medical Center and featured regional Veteran Performers from all over the United States. New Directions Choir Director and songwriter George Hill was homeless for 10 years, living in and around MacArthur Park. A graduate of New Directions, he is now majoring in computer information systems at California State University Los Angeles. "Through singing," George says, "we hope to let other vets who are still out there know there is another way." The New Directions Choir is available for corporate and private events. New Directions does request an honorarium for all performances in order to support our comprehensive services for veterans.
