OYC's Choruses will rehearse one day each week after school at the First Unitarian Church of Oakland (685 14th St. at Castro). Our annual concerts are December 13, 2008 and May 9, 2009. To register for OYC programs contact Andrea Lee at (510) 287-9700 x 101.
Come join the Oakland Youth Chorus!
OYC’s Middle School Magic Chorus rehearses Mondays and Wednesdays 4:30 pm – 6:00 pm at the First Unitarian Church of Oakland (685 14th St. at Castro) beginning September 10. Magic performs in two major concerts annually (dates) with OYC’s combined choruses, as well is an annual state-wide competition at a place to be determined in the fall. Occasional additional local performances are also required.
There is no audition required for middle school singers. Come join 30 of your new best friends for singing, trips, award-winning performances, and fun!
Registration fees are $110 per year, and there are occasional additional fees for trips. No one will be turned away for lack of funds.
OYC’s award-winning Concert Chorus has been around for 34 years, and has performed all over the world, with special guest artists such as Bobby McFerrin, Linda Tillery, SoVoSo, and Keith Terry. American Idol finalist La Toya London and singer Goapele are both alumni of OYC, and say they got a great musical foundation and met lifetime friends here.
Whether you’re the next American Idol or just want to have fun singing with some new friends, we hope you’ll join us!
Reistration fees are $160 per year, and there are additional fees for retreat and tour.
