The Susquehanna Valley Youth Chorale (SVYC), an educational outreach program of the Susquehanna Valley Chorale will present its spring performance on Sunday, April 21 at 3 p.m. at Sharon Lutheran Church, 120 S. Market Street in Selinsgrove.
Coleen Renshaw serves as Music Director and Conductor and Verlaine Shaw serves as Piano Accompanist.
Renshaw said of the program, “Every singer in the choir will be featured in a solo as a part of one of our selections. Styles of music will come from musical theater, songs from days gone by such as the 1950s and 1960s, rainbows, Spanish folk songs, and the jazz world.”
Featured songs will include: Over the Rainbow, All the Beautiful Colors, Blue Suede Shoes, True Colors and Yellow Submarine, along with many others.
The SVYC will also present The Colors of Nature, a commissioned piece of music which was written especially for this group of singers. The composer, Michaela Wagner, and lyricist Bethany Runkle, were both members of the SVYC organization in their younger days.
The Preparatory/Camerata chorus includes: Gabriel Dunkelberger of Middleburg, Rustam Shahram of Lewisburg, Audra Folk of Beaver Springs, Stella Foulds of Northumberland, Elyse Isaacs of Paxtonville, Bryce Leininger of Milton and Emma Straub of Selinsgrove.
