ANNOUNCEMENT
Starting in September of 2020, all Guelph Youth Singers programming will be online. While nothing can replace the experience of being together in person, the Artistic Team and Board of Directors are pleased to present a thrilling alternative. The season will be divided into three 10-week themed modules: Sing Jazz, The World at our Fingers, and The Poet’s Laugh.
- Module One: Sing Jazz (started September 13th, 2020)
- Module Two: The World at our Fingers (started January 5th, 2021)
- Module Three: The Poet’s Laugh – 10 weeks (starts March 21st, 2021)
The Poet’s Laugh will be a session where text, and in particular humorous text will be at the forefront. Singing repertoire from a variety of genres with a focus on character and dramatization, choristers will have the opportunity to showcase their personalities and sense of humour!
The Guelph Youth Singers acknowledge that the land on which we live, learn, and sing is the ancestral land of the Attawandaron people, and the treaty land and territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit. We recognize the significance of the Dish with One Spoon Covenant to this land as well as our responsibility to the land and future generations. We are committed to reconciliation and to building and strengthening our relationships with our First Nations, Inuit and Métis neighbours.
