2011-2012 season of the Young Choral Artists, part of the Salt Lake Choral Artists

We are pleased to announce the 2011-2012 season of the Young Choral Artists, part of the Salt Lake Choral Artists organization. Our vision for the choir is that children will become better musicians, with performances being a natural outgrowth of their experience. We can’t wait to start learning, singing, and having fun!

There are now 2 sections of the choir. Young Choral Artists West (YoCA West), under the direction of Joan Brinton, meets at Murray High School; Young Choral Artists East (YoCA East), under the direction of John Walker, rehearses at the McGillis School in Salt Lake. Please audition for the section that will best meet your needs.

Performances:

Saturday, October 15, 2011, 2:00 pm and 7:30 pm, Libby Gardner Concert Hall
Saturday, December 3, 2011, 2:00 pm and 7:30 pm, Libby Gardner Concert Hall

To audition, come prepared to sing a simple tune (either accompanied or not) and to complete some fun exercises that will help us understand the singer’s musical knowledge. This will help us prepare each week to teach the skills that will make each singer's experience in YoCA rewarding.
