Madison Youth Choirs

press release: This spring, Madison Youth Choirs singers are exploring the meaning of "Legacy," studying works that have endured throughout history, folk traditions that have been passed on, and musical connections we maintain with those who have come before us. Along the way, we're discovering how our own choices and examples are leaving a lasting impact on future generations. In our upcoming concert series in the Capitol Theater on May 11 and 12, we'll present works including Britten's "The Golden Vanity," Palestrina's beloved "Sicut Cervus," Sweet Honey in the Rock's "Wanting Memories," the final chorus of Handel's oratorio Samson, American and Scottish folk songs, and Zoe Mulford's powerful modern folk piece, "The President Sang Amazing Grace." The concert will also pay tribute to our alumni, with selections featured on the very first Madison Boychoir album, and past Cantabile singers invited to join us on stage for "Sisters, Now Our Meeting is Over."
