Now in its 13th season, the Annapolis Youth Chorus is part of the Live Arts Maryland family of performing ensembles and is the cornerstone of the music education program. The AYC helps kids develop a life-long love of music, while teaching them fundamentals of healthy voice training and strong musicianship. The group has sung for many audiences, from the home crowd at a Bowie Baysox game to Carnegie Hall and, most recently, at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts for the National Memorial Day Choral Festival under the direction of Dr. Z. Randall Stroope. For more information, visit http://www.liveartsmaryland.org.
