An Invitation to Join the Winston-Salem Youth Chorus

The Winston-Salem Youth Chorus invites any third through fifth grade student who loves to sing an opportunity to join its “Fall 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 Winter Celebration Concert held at Hanes Auditorium at Salem College Fine Arts Center. No audition is required, just a love of singing.

Rehearsals are held on Tuesdays from 5:45 to 6:30 p.m. at Grace Baptist Church in Winston-Salem beginning October 17. Be a part of this exciting ensemble experience. For more information and to register your child, please visit Winston-Salem Youth Chorus or call 336-703-0001.  The deadline for registration is Friday, October 13.

The Winston-Salem Youth Chorus, a non-profit arts organization founded in 1993, 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. Sonja Sepulveda, who is the Director of Choral Activities at Salem, is the new Artistic Director for the WSYC and brings her national credibility to the organization. The chorus now has about 80 members in four ensembles, ranging from grades 3 through12 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 UNCSA, The WS Symphony, Piedmont Wind Ensemble, Piedmont Chamber singers and other groups in the region.
