The GRSYC is an official affiliate of the Grand Rapids Symphony

We are now accepting appointments for auditions and voice placements for the exciting '08/'09 season!

We're looking for girls, young women and especially boys and young men -- grades 3 - 12.

For an appointment or more information, contact:

Chorus members will receive an exceptionally high level of musical instruction. A wide variety of choral literature will be studied, including works written specifically for young voices and orchestra. They will also have the rare opportunity as young people to perform regularly with the Grand Rapids Symphony.

The Chorus (grades 9-12) is directed by Sean Ivory and the Junior Chorus (grades 3-8) is directed by Jackie Sonderfan Schoon. Rehearsals are held at Kuyper College.
