Auditions for the Quincy Area Youth Chorus Concert Choir and Kinderchor will be held Saturday, Aug. 3, beginning at 10 a.m. at Christ Lutheran Church, 333 S. 36th Street in Quincy.
Founded in 1995, QAYC is a performing organization within the Quincy Symphony Orchestra Association. An educational outreach program, QAYC supplements school and church choral training with focused preparation and performance of excellent treble chorus literature. Young singers from a 75-mile radius of Quincy perform twice a year as an ensemble in concerts in October and April, and often sing combined works with the Quincy Symphony Orchestra. QAYC includes girls and boys with unchanged voices, and consists of two performing groups. The Kinderchor for the younger singers is directed by Jessi Kirchner-Sparks. The Concert Choir for older members is directed by Paul Shelor. Rehearsals are held either on Saturday mornings or Sunday afternoons, beginning in August.
Auditioning children should prepare a song they enjoy singing. Please call the Quincy Symphony office to sign up for an audition time. 217-222-2856. More information is available at www.qsoa.org.
