Seventy-five local youth enjoyed musical workshops and performed for a large audience during Rainier Youth Choirs second annual Summer Choir Camp. 

Singers grade 4 through 20 years old are invited to schedule an informal audition for Rainier Youth Choirs.

RYC, a nonprofit, family-friendly organization, is a choral music education program. It includes three choirs: Bella Voce for treble singers in grades 4 and up, no training needed; Colla Voce for experienced treble boys and girls in grades 6 and up; and Consonare for experienced soprano, alto, tenor, and bass singers.

Each choir rehearses weekly at Cedar Heights Middle School in Covington.

RYC’s seventh season theme is Connections with Home for the Holidays concert at 3 p.m. Dec. 14, Threads of the Past dinner and show at 6 p.m. Feb. 28, and Time and Travel concert at 3 p.m. June 1.

Each season begins with a fall retreat for singers and welcome concert for families and ends with a family picnic in June.

Last year, the choirs performed three seasonal concerts and sang with Barry Manilow at the ShoWare Center. Several members also performed on the Argosy Christmas ship and participated in choral festivals.

Auditions are being held now through Sept. 4 for fall enrollment.
