About the West Louisville Performing Arts Academy

The West Louisville Performing Arts Academy (formally the West Louisville Boys Choir and West Louisville Girls Choir) was established in 1990 by McDaniel Bluitt, a retired music teacher with twenty-eight years of experience in the Jefferson Country Public School system. The West Louisville Performing Arts Academy (WLPAA) is a registered 501(c) (3) non-profit organization whose mission is to create artistic opportunities for underprivileged youth ages 8-19 and to assist in the development of academic proficiency and sound life skills that are necessary to enable these youth to become assets to our society. Participants meet up to four nights per week for rehearsals, tutoring sessions, and leadership training, among other activities. The WLPAA currently averages two concerts per month.
