Is there a young male singer in your house?
Chor Leoni is looking for guys aged 12 to 20 who’d like to take part in its fifth annual MYVoice program – which brings male singers from across Metro Vancouver together in three all-male choirs to learn music, develop confidence and nurture their interest and commitment to music and culture.
For local singers, conductor Carrie Taylor will be leading rehearsals at Burnaby Central Secondary School on Tuesday nights starting Jan. 5.
“By removing all costs to participants and requiring a relatively short-term commitment (10 rehearsals plus final concert), MYVoice aims not only to build upon the fine work now being achieved by music educators throughout Metro Vancouver, but also to give guys greater accessibility to the special joys and rewards of singing together in male choirs,” a press release notes.
The program is funded by the RBC Foundation and private donors, so it is offered completely free of charge to participants. No previous musical experience is required.
The MYVoice program culminates in performances as part of Chor Leoni’s VanMan Male Choral Summit concert on Saturday, March 12 at the Chan Centre for the Performing Arts at UBC.
Satellite choirs are also offered in North Vancouver and Vancouver.
Registration is now open. See www.chorleoni.org/MYVoice.
