GIRLS 16+ AND BOYS WITH CHANGED VOICES
Under the direction of Artistic Director Ann Cooper Gay, the Youth Chorus meets on Mondays from 7:00 – 9:00 p.m. Choral repertoire is drawn from opera, oratorio, and musical theatre as well as solo/ensemble selections from opera and musical theatre. Rehearsals will be used primarily to polish and stage pieces of assigned music; independent learning is highly encouraged. The Youth Chorus presents a Spring Concert and also appears at many CCOC events and with major performing arts groups such as the Hannaford Street Silver Band, Canadian Opera Company Ensemble, and Soundstreams Canada.
