Come and hear the beautiful voices of close to 100 singers ranging in age from 8-18 as they perform a variety of choral pieces that are sure to delight audiences. All guests are invited to a reception in the lobby after the concert to meet our Artistic Director, Dr. Sonja Sepulveda, performers, instrumentalists and to find out more about the WSYC.

The chorus frequently performs with orchestras, professional artists, and ensembles of highest caliber each year plus tour nationally and internationally. This year, it will be performing at Carnegie Hall in June. You will be moved by the beauty of their tone, mastery of singing in other languages and overall choral expertise.
