Join us for Voices of Light., our winter concert featuring all the choirs of Vivace Youth Chorus!
Vivace Youth Chorus singers will be featured with Resounding Achord and Nova Vista Symphony for a special holiday performance of Befana: A Christmas Fable by Kirke Mechem. This beautiful concert opera shares the story of an Italian woman, who through her own personal sadness, misses the opportunity to visit the newborn Christ Child along with the Magi and Shepherds. When she realizes her mistake, she gathers gifts for the baby, but her searches are in vain. Her tale lives on as she visits children with gifts on the eve of Epiphany, honoring the holy child in all of them. This unique performance also will feature works by Fauré, the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Tchaikovsky, and a stunning finale with a newly-orchestrated version of David Maddux’s “Christmas Goes Classical.”
Join Vivace Youth Chorus for a spring concert featuring all 6 of our ensembles. We will celebrate our graduating seniors and there will be a special moment at the end of the concert for alumni singers to join in as well!
