Chava Shapiro (nee Zviklin) grew up in a suburb of Philadelphia. Classically trained since the age of 14, as a teen Chava was accepted to several selective choirs and performed under world-renowned conductors throughout the U.S. and Europe, including performances at prestigious venues such as Smetana Hall in Prague, Czech Republic and Carnegie Hall in New York City. As a recipient of the Loeb Performing Arts Scholarship in 2006, she also received the honor of a solo performance at the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts in Philadelphia.
