Auditions for the Quincy Area Youth Chorus to be held Tuesday at Christ Lutheran Church

QUINCY — The Quincy Area Youth Chorus invites area singers to join them for the spring 2023 season.

Singers in grades three through 12 are invited to audition at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 13, at Christ Lutheran Church, 333 S. 36th. Auditioning children should prepare a song they enjoy singing and call the Quincy Symphony office, 217-222-2856, to sign up for an audition time. Information is available at www.qsoa.org.

QAYC includes girls and boys with unchanged voices. It consists of two performing groups: the Kinderchor for the younger singers, which is directed by Amy Fairchild, and the Concert Choir for older members, which is directed by Paul Shelor. 

Rehearsals are held either on Saturday mornings or Sunday afternoons. Young singers perform concerts in the fall and spring and join the Quincy Symphony Orchestra and adult chorus for a combined performance each season. The spring concert will be at 7 p.m. April 3, 2023.

Founded in 1995, QAYC is a performing and educational outreach program within the Quincy Symphony Orchestra Association. QAYC supplements school and church choral training with focused preparation and performance of excellent treble chorus literature.
