WHAT'S NEW

After a very successful first year, the ensemble is expanding to include two groups that will rehearse in different locations with a new artistic team. This will provide the opportunity for more young people throughout the area to have a fun and exciting choral experience. YoCA will help them develop musicianship and singing skills and will provide them with a unique opportunity to collaborate with over 300 singers in the Salt Lake Choral Artists as well as perform their own concerts in the community and region.
