PCA0247 - VYC: Young Men's Chorus

Course Description

Boys with changed or changing voices. Rehearsals Thursdays 6:10pm-7:20pm. Tucker Biddlecombe, conductor. The Young Men's Chorus is for boys whose voices are in the process of changing or have changed. We work on healthy vocal technique and new ways of using voices as they go through transition. Repertoire includes music written for men's voices, SATB literature with the Concert Choir, and other ensemble pieces with the other Vanderbilt Youth Choirs. There are several opportunities to perform each semester. Travel has taken them to several states, as well as an international tour to Germany. A good sense of pitch, unforced sound and a willingness to explore new ways of singing are needed for this group.
