Guelph Youth Singers Releases its New CD Into the Breeze
Guelph Youth Singers is proud and excited to be releasing its newest CD, Into the Breeze. The production of this CD represents GYS at its best. The repertoire was recorded over the past two and a half years by all of the choristers, aged six to eighteen, along with guest string players from the Suzuki String School of Guelph and their Artistic Director, Paule Barselou. Over one third of the repertoire was composed or arranged by Canadians, and other repertoire includes traditional African, Yiddish, French, Danish, and, of course, North American songs, in both folk and classical arrangements—all selections designed to appeal to singers and lovers of choral music of any age . Into the Breeze is the third CD produced by Guelph Youth Singers. Previously released CDs by GYS, Wind in Our Sails and Bird in the Nest, have sold well across North America. All three CDs are available at the GYS office, and will be sold at GYS’ upcoming winter concert, This Frosty Tide, on Dec. 4th at St. George’s Anglican Church. This CD will make a great Christmas gift for family, friends and colleagues! Guelph Youth Singers is an award-winning organization that has consistently been given the top award for choral groups from the Guelph Kiwanis Association, and has won further awards at both the Provincial and National levels of the National Festival Association. Guelph Youth Singers includes 80 choristers aged six through 18, and is always looking for children who love to sing. Every child is given a chance to learn the skills that will make them singers for life. Audition appointments are designed to give the child a “mini lesson” and an enjoyable experience. Singers are invited to enter the choir in September and in January. Prospective choristers and their parents are welcomed to contact the GYS office at 519-821-8574 for more information, to watch a rehearsal, or to register for an audition.
