About
US
The
Woodbridge Youth Chorale (WYC) is a community choral group made up of
young
singers from Prince
William County
who rehearse weekly and perform
at a variety of community events. Membership
is open to all children enrolled in fourth through eighth grade during
their
first season, and who successfully complete the audition process.
WYC
provides the children of Prince William
County
an opportunity for additional
musical training to further stimulate and enhance their musical growth
and
development. This is achieved through the promotion of correct vocal
singing
techniques and proper stage presence and movement. The singers perform
two and
three part vocal music which is both musically challenging for them and
appealing to the wide variety of audiences for which they perform. The
spectrum
of music chosen by the Director develops a musically-educated
performer.
A
Board
of Directors, serving in a volunteer capacity, administers the Chorale.
The
music leadership consists of a director and accompanist who receive
honoraria. From the many invitations
received each season, the Musical Director and WYC Board determine a
schedule
of performances for the season designed to provide a well-rounded
experience
for both the performers and the community that financially supports
WYC.
The
majority of performances are within Prince William
County;
with some reaching the nearby
metropolitan area. The Christmas concert includes a variety of secular
and
sacred seasonal music. Popular tunes and
classical numbers fill the spring repertoire.
