Two one-act musicals, complete with costumes and choreography, showcase the high-energy talent of these young performers from across the Washington area.
On Tuesday, December 15th, the Junior Division performed in the Franklin Reception Room of the State Department for Secretary of State Clinton’s annual holiday gathering for the ambassadors of the various nations assigned to Washington, DC. They sang a mix of holiday favorites and music from their November and December concerts.
The Congressional Chorus, American Youth Chorus and Capital City Symphony all joined together on December 13th to present a free holiday concert for the H Street and Capitol Hill communities. Despite the rainy weather, over 200 people attended each show - at 3:30 and 7:00 pm.
Here’s a video clip of the Junior Division singing “Bright Star Shining.”
Potential singers need not prepare a song, the artistic director will run some scales and warm-ups and sing something familiar such as Happy Birthday.
Rehearsals are held on Tuesdays (ages 8-10) and Thursdays (ages 11-14) from 4:30 - 6 pm at the Atlas Performing Arts Center, 1333 H St NE, Washington DC.
