As part of the National Children’s Honor Choir that took place in Los Angeles from Feb. 2-5, Madhumita Parmar, of Scotch Plains, NJ, was selected to perform at the American Choral Director’s Association Convention (ACDA). With a flair for music, the ten-year-old Parmar plays the piano and saxophone and has won other prizes in Carnatic, Hindi and Western classical music. “Out of 1,600 students that auditioned, they selected about 240 students to represent the national honor choir, of which only three were Indian. It was a great honor for her as an Indian to represent the national choir,” her mother Suba Parmar told News India-Times.
