Madison Youth Choirs

media release: Madison's Youth Choirs' upcoming spring concert series, Unbroken, will feature more than 400 local young singers performing a wide range of classical and contemporary choral repertoire that inspires, rejuvenates, and brings us closer to one another. The concert will also feature MYC’s Teaching Artist-in-Residence, Onome, who has inspired our community to embrace the infinite possibility of sound through the practice of circlesinging this year.

MYC’s nine ensembles will perform in three distinct concerts. A small sample of the variety of works you'll hear in this concert series includes:

•  "The Pasture" - Randall Thompson's musical setting of Robert Frost's poetry
• Brahms's "Ich weiss nicht"
• "Bright Morning Stars" - arranged by Ruth Moody of The Wailin' Jennys
• "We Are" by Ysaye M. Barnwell
• "The Seal Lullaby" by Eric Whitacre
• "Fern Hill," John Corigliano's setting of a poem by Dylan Thomas

and many more!
