COMING UP
YOUNG SINGERS PROJECT IN CONCERT
YSP participants will perform works that express and transport their audience through the journey of Light, Hope, and Endurance through the Human Spirit. Students will explore this theme through rich harmonies and evocative texts, tracing a path from darkness into light across cultures and eras with music from Moses Hogan, Frank Ticheli, Daniel Gawthrop, and more. This program will celebrate the resilience, unity, and hope that define the human experience. Along with repertoire preparation, rehearsal sessions will focus on healthy vocal technique, musicianship, and choral artistry.
