Founded in 2005, The Hill Country Youth Chorus provides an accessible, comprehensive music education and performance program that serves boys and girls from diverse cultural and economic backgrounds. The curriculum equips these young artists with the musical skills that enable them to seek the highest artistic standards in performances of challenging music. It is hoped that the discipline and conc
entration learned by each student-artist in rehearsal and performance will instill in them the values necessary to succeed in music and life. HCYC’s emphasis on excellences spotlights the collective strength inherent in young people collaborating in the fulfillment of a collective idea. The potential for human achievement provided by this model merits a resonance throughout the wider sphere of community life.
