Randolph-Macon Academy Senior Jingwen Gong Makes All-State Chorus

2016 Feb 16

Randolph-Macon Academy (R-MA) senior Jingwen "Alice" Gong from Beijing, China, has earned a spot on the All-Virginia (a.k.a. All-State) Chorus, an elite group comprised of some of the top high school singers from all parts of Virginia.

"Alice is only the second student from R-MA to make it into this prestigious group," said R-MA Chorus Director Michael DeMato. (The first was Margot Cramer of Winchester, in 2013.) DeMato wasn't surprised by Gong's success, since she had scored first out of all "Soprano 1's" during the regional competition back in November 2015.

The All-Virginia Chorus Concert will be on Saturday, April 30, in Virginia Beach.
