Winston-Salem Youth Chorus Spring Concert on April 25


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.
