| St. Charles County Youth Choir Hosts Contest and Plans Tour |
|
The St. Charles County Youth Choir sponsored its second annual contest this spring in conjunction with the vocal department of St. Charles Community College. More than fifty performing events were entered by choirs, soloists, and ensembles from area elementary and middle schools as well as singers from SCCYC. Each entry received an evaluation and rating from professional musicians.
This June the choir will take its first overnight tour. They will travel through central Illinois and on to Chicago for four days. The group will perform with the Millikin University Children's Choir, have a clinic with composer/conductor Rollo Dilworth, and attend professional performances. Visits are also planned for the Lincoln Presidential Museum in Springfield and touring Chicago's Art Institute, Field Museum, and Museum of Science and Industry.
Anyone who would like more information about the exciting plans underway for 2009-10 should contact director, Tresa Jo Wilson, at 314.323.5213 or info@sccyouthchoir.org.
