Lori Loftus, the founding artistic director of the Southern California Children's Chorus, has taught the art of music, singing and musicianship to children for over 25 years. Under her leadership, the SCCC's Concert Chorus is rapidly becoming the leading children's chorus in Southern California.

Lori's musical credentials are impeccable. She has a B.M. in Piano Performance and has been the accompanist for many fine choral conductors including David Thorsen, Helmuth Rilling, Howard Swan, Zubin Mehta, John Alexander, Harold Dekker, Joseph Flummerfeld and Carl St. Clair.

Throughout her career, her choirs have sung on professional artists' CD's and have received many awards at festivals and competitions. She has also been asked to provide trained children's voices for Touchstone films, MGM films, music videos, commercials, symphony concerts, operas, television specials for Disney and many musical productions.

Lori is currently working as a children's choral coordinator in vocal music at St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church in Newport Beach. Constantly in demand as an organist, harpsichordist or pianist, she plays for concerts, recitals, orchestral works, festivals and auditions. Frequently she is also a guest conductor, lecturer and adjudicator for children's choral festivals. Her passion for children and her commitment to music excellence make her a very unique and successful director.
