Auditions for The Young Singers of Missouri are scheduled for Thursday, Sept. 13, from 4 until 6 p.m. at Grace United Methodist Church, on the corner of Waterman and Skinker. Directors of the program are Dr. and Mrs. Kenneth Greenlaw, who are also Directors of Music at Grace Methodist.
The Young Singers of Missouri is a non-denominational community chorus program for children and youth in grades one through college.
This fall marks the beginning of the Tenth Anniversary Year of the program, which started on the Lindenwood campus in September 1974. Last fall rehearsal units were inaugurated at Grace Methodist. Over forty young people participated in the Young Singers program at Grace last year. Repertoire included Honegger’s Cantate de Noel, Come, Ye Sons of Art, by Purcell, and Stabat Mater, by Pergolesi—all performed with orchestra—in addition to lighter selections. Repertoire this fall will include Benjamin Britten’s Ceremony of Carols and a Christmas pageant of carols from around the world. Weekly rehearsals are held on Thursday afternoons. Auditions are held in groups of four or five children, and consist of a simple folk song, a round, and a few scales.
No advance preparation is necessary.
