Lopez was the only student from El Paso to participate this summer.
She traveled to New York City to rehearse and perform with the group. She said the performers practiced for about three hours in the morning and another three hours in the afternoon before taking the stage.
“We had to perform about five songs,” Lopez said.
She said singing and performing are passions she hopes to continue pursuing.
“It’s just an art that I think is absolutely amazing,” Lopez said. “I love to sing, and I love the theater and the arts.”
The event was part of the National Choral Showcase, which brings together youth and adult choirs from across the country to perform at Carnegie Hall.
