VOX Femina Chosen to Perform the National Anthem for The Los Angeles Sparks For 'Awesome August's' Inspiring Women Theme

VOX Femina, whose recent concerts have featured Broadway elite such as Rachel York, Susan Egan, and Smithsonian inductee, Florence Henderson was chosen to perform the National Anthem by The Los Angeles Sparks at The Staples Center for their "Awesome August" Inspiring Women theme.

"Vox Femina were spectacular. I have always taken a certain pride in the quality of anthem singers we have at our games, but the VOX group really raised the bar. They were absolutely wonderful...." - Kathy Goodman, Sparks Co-owner

The Los Angeles Sparks have return home after a month on the road and prepare to tip-off an action-packed month of August that includes 10 home games, nearly 20 community appearances and a variety of fun and entertaining theme nights.

Sparks theme nights at STAPLES Center add even more excitement to the fan experience. From honoring Inspiring Women in our community, to helping our fans "Go Green" at a green expo and get fit at a health and wellness fair, every game in August features entertaining extras for fans.

On Wednesday, August 19: Lynx vs. Sparks - featured VOX Femina singing the national Anthem as part of their highlight to Inspiring Women, a chance to honor and celebrate the women who uplift and inspire us.
