Hear the sounds of angels this holiday season by attending the Young Womens Choral Projects Winter Showcase where all four choral ensembles perform solo and together in music of the season. Joyous carols and contemporary selections such as Cedit Hyems by Abbie Betinis with flute will be featured as well as music by Jacob Handl, Heinrich Schütz, Arvo Pärt, Maurice Duruflé, Sarah Quartel, John Rutter, and many others.
The Young Women's Choral Projects of San Francisco transforms the lives of young women through exceptional artistry in choral performance, and brings the expressive power of their music to the community, the nation, and the world. Through YWCP, young women ages 4-18 from richly diverse socio-ethnic backgrounds find their voices as singers, artists and women in a nurturing environment that empowers them to achieve artistic and personal excellence. YWCP offers four levels of choral experience, each with its own curriculum and musical objectives: Prelude Chorus (beginning level), Allegro Chorus (intermediate level), Vivo Chorus (intermediate-advanced level), and the Young Women's Chorus (advanced level). YWCP also has two levels of non-auditioned singing classes for girls ages 4-8. All YWCP ensembles teach young women the joy of performing, and instill in each singer important life benefits such as confidence, focus, self-discipline, problem solving, responsibility and compassion.
Artistic Director Susan McMane is a world-renowned choral conductor specializing in treble choral music. In 2012, she became the founding director of the Young Women's Choral Projects of San Francisco, where she conducts the auditioned chorus of young women from grades 7-12 and oversees a training choral program for younger girls. Dr. McMane has won many awards for her work including three GRAMMY Awards with the San Francisco Symphony and the 2007 "Symphony of Excellence Arts Award" from the Pacific Musical Society.
YWCP recommends you select "Print at Home" tickets to avoid a long will call line.
