Testimonials

"One of the best sounds & sights in the world is 200 children on stage singing their hearts out.  There is more hope for the future in that sound than in any other.  That is YVC."  ~  YVC Board member

"The organization’s strong commitment to education and outreach is evident, not only in the design of this festival, but throughout their concert season, in partnerships and collaborations with local schools and arts organizations, and teacher education workshops."  ~  Dr. David Brunner, composer and conductor

"While being in choir has taught me more things than I can count, I think the most important lesson was what commitment really means. Coming to choir was never optional, it was always vitally important to not only show up, but contribute. There is nothing like being a part of something greater than oneself, and choir has taught me that this greatness can only be achieved when everyone involved puts forth their best effort. Only when everyone was fully committed were we able to create and build something beautiful together. As I go forward in life, I know that I will never underestimate the power of my own commitment, and the joy of seeing the result of that decision."  ~  Jenessa Tofield, then age 17; years later a teacher, a mom and a YVC Board member
