🎉 The concert opens two milestone seasons at once:
• the Louisville Youth Choir (LYC) celebrates its 60th season this year!
• Louisville Chorus (LC) celebrates its 87th season this year!

LYC Artistic/Exec. Dir. Terri Foster remarked:

“We are thrilled to open the Louisville Youth Choir’s 60th season by joining voices with the Louisville Chorus! This collaboration gives our young singers the extraordinary opportunity to share the stage with experienced generations of singers—to learn from them, be inspired by them, and experience firsthand how choral music connects us across ages. What a meaningful way to celebrate this milestone season and the lifelong joy of singing together."

LC Artistic Dir. Dr. David Borman added:

“When a fifth grader and a singer in their sixties stand shoulder to shoulder on the same piece of music, the audience hears something neither group can produce alone. That is the whole idea of this concert, and it is the perfect way to open a season built around every voice and every tongue.”

💜 PLEASE JOIN US for this CELEBRATORY SEASON OPENER on OCT. 18TH! 💚
