Sing with friends! Orcas youth choral groups are open for fall registration
Published 1:30 am Saturday, August 19, 2023
Know a teen or younger kid who loves to sing? Help us spread the word about this fun and rewarding opportunity for island youth to discover their voices, hone their singing skills and share musical harmony with friends.
Studies have shown that singing has many powerful effects on the brain, including improving optimism, resilience and feelings of connection to others. After a successful debut last year, Orcas Youth Chorus and Junior Orcas Youth Chorus will begin a new Fall session on Sunday, Sept. 10, led by local choral directors with many years of experience working with fresh, young voices. Youth from all Orcas schools, including home-schooled students, are welcome.
Details
Sundays, Sept. 10 to Dec. 10, in the Orcas High School Music Room. Orcas Youth Chorus — 6th-12th grade, Sun, 3-4 p.m., with choral directors Pamela Wright and Andy Rivera. Junior Orcas Youth Chorus — 2nd-5th grade, Sun, 2-3pm, with choral directors Bev Leyman and Pamela Wright.
