Join the Rainier Youth Choir on Saturday, Jun 19 for an evening of music. The “Sentimental Journey” concert begins at 3:00pm at the Kent Methodist Church located at 11010 SE 248th St., Kent. See youth of all ages from Kent, Maple Valley, Auburn, Federal Way, Enumclaw and Renton. Tickets are $12/$10 purchased in advance and $15/$12 at the door.
RYC is a non-profit community organization, partially funded by the Kent Arts Commission and 4 Culture, which offers age-appropriate, exceptional choral singing experiences for boys and girls with a variety of levels.
“This will be a bittersweet concert with 14 seniors graduating, some of whom have sung with me and each other since they were in fifth grade,” observed Leora Schwitters, RYC’s Artistic Director. “We’ll be programming several favorite songs from their past as well as adding a few new selections.” Repertoire for this concert includes lighter Broadway numbers, folk songs, jazz ballads, spirituals, as well as newer selections by Stroope, Ratledge, Sevier and Quick.
Auditions for Rainier Youth Choirs are now available for the 2010-11 season by appointment for boys and girls with strong musical talent, grades 4 and up. RYC groups rehearse weekly throughout the school year in Covington, September through May.
