Youth a Cappella Experience
“I felt excited and inspired by the challenge of singing with adult musicians. I believe this experience advanced my music reading and gave me the opportunity to sing with a really impressive choir—I hope I can do it again.”
Is it hard to find time to commit to a choir for a full season? Are you in high school, or are you a recent graduate? Are you interested in singing with an inter-generational, auditioned, a cappella choir? Join us for YAX in Fall 2026!
What do you need to do?
- Work with an assigned buddy to learn your music ahead of time so rehearsals run smoothly.
- Show up on time for all rehearsals and concerts. Need a ride? Let us know!
- Pay the small registration fee (bursaries available if needed).
- Complete your registration form and permission slip (signed by you and a parent).
- Dress for concerts in black: black top with sleeves, black pants/skirt, black shoes, and bring a black music folder.
