Meet the Arts Organization: Winston-Salem Youth Chorus

Choral singing provides young people with an exciting entree into the world of music, and a lifetime of arts appreciation. Over the past 20 years, children in and around Forsyth County have thoroughly enjoyed their experiences rehearsing with and performing in the Winston-Salem Youth Chorus, under the direction of Founder and Artistic Director Barbara Beattie. The Executive Director is Lori Prescott.  In November 2013, they celebrated their big 20^th anniversary concert in the Stevens Center. On the program were audience favorites plus a world premiere by renowned composer Dan Locklair set to a new poem by former NC Poet Laureate Fred Chappell. Winston-Salem Youth Chorus members Daniel Prescott, Paul Gunter, Josh Boose and Olivia Wright shared their thoughts with David Ford.
