Troy High Student Omar Atasi Wins Troy Community Chorus Scholarship

The Troy Community Chorus (TCC) has announced Omar Atasi as the recipient of its 2025 Shirley Darge Memorial Vocal Music Scholarship, awarded annually to a high school student that resides in Troy and/or attends school in the City of Troy. Atasi will perform a solo at the Troy Community Chorus’ Spring Concert being held on April 25 at Troy Athens High School.

Atasi is a junior at Troy High School, where he recently starred as the lead Bob Wallace in “White Christmas.” Prior to this role, he was cast as Ren McCormack in “Footloose”, which led to a nomination in the Sutton Foster Awards, a celebration of high school musical theatre across the State of Michigan.

In addition to singing the national anthem at multiple school events, Atasi has participated in several college workshops including one at American Musical and Dramatic Academy led by a Broadway performer and another at Oakland Community College led by a Broadway composer. Omar plans to use the scholarship to continue and pay for his weekly voice lessons.

Founded in 1978, the Troy Community Chorus is a non-audition choir consisting of 100+ adult members from across the metropolitan Detroit area who love to sing, want to develop their vocal skills and have fun in the process.
