Students in Second, Third and Fourth Grades Who Love to Sing Are Invited to Participate in Spring Forward Chorus

The Winston-Salem Youth Chorus invites any student in grades two, three or four who loves to sing to participate in its Spring Forward Chorus.

This five-week singing group is an introductory choral program that includes learning solfege (do, re, me, etc.), singing in rounds, group singing, choral training and culminates with performing with the Winston-Salem Youth Chorus on stage at the Spring Choral Concert held at Ardmore Baptist Church on April 25.

No audition is required, just a love of singing. Beginning March 17, rehearsals will be held on Tuesdays from 4 to 4:45 p.m. at Burkehead United Methodist Church in Winston-Salem. For more information and to register your child, please visit www.wsyouthchorus.org or call 703-0001. The deadline for registration is Friday, March 13.

The Winston-Salem Youth Chorus, a nonprofit arts organization founded in 1993 by Barbara C. Beattie, has impacted the lives of hundreds of children and youth through music education and performance experiences in its mission to engage and develop youth from diverse backgrounds and enrich their lives by inspiring excellence in choral music. The WSYC now has around 100 members in four ensembles, ranging from grades three through 12 and representing more than 40 schools in Forsyth and surrounding counties.

Members of the WSYC learn vocal technique, theory, singing in other languages, discipline, confidence and teamwork while performing beautiful choral arrangements. The chorus also often collaborates with the University of North Carolina School of the Arts, The Winston-Salem Symphony, the Piedmont Wind Ensemble, Piedmont Chamber singers and other groups in the region.
