The
Winston-Salem Youth Chorus will hold its annual Spring Choral Concert on Saturday, April 25th, 2015 at 7 p.m. at
Ardmore Baptist Church. All four ensembles of the chorus will offer up an
evening of choral delights sung in different genres and languages.
This
year’s concert is particularly special because it is the final concert for Barbara
C. Beattie, the founding artistic director. She will be retiring at the end of
the 2014-2015 season after 22 years of musical training she has provided to
hundreds of youth in our community. All guests are invited to a reception in
the church fellowship hall after the concert to honor Beattie and to meet
the singers.
Tickets for the concert are
$15 for adults and $10 for students and senior citizens. Tickets can be
purchased in advance by calling 703-0001 Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 4
p.m. or at the door the evening of April 25th.
The Winston-Salem Youth
Chorus is a non-profit arts organization, currently with more than 100 members
in grades 3 through 12, representing more than 40 schools in Forsyth and
surrounding counties. Open to any child who passes a standard audition, WSYC
singers learn proper vocal technique, music theory, performance and
sight-singing skills, music culture and songs in other languages. Annual
tuition is kept at a modest rate and scholarships are provided to those in need
in order to keep the program available to all children and youth in the
community.
