City of Palms Youth Choir seeks singers

The City of Palms Youth Choir of the Fort Myers Mastersingers is now recruiting young singers for their upcoming sixth season. Rehearsals are held weekly on Tuesday evenings at New Hope Presbyterian Church in Fort Myers.

The City of Palms Youth Choir is an auditioned choral program for singers grades 2 – 12 that provides young singers valuable artistic, vocal and performance experience.  Past seasons have included performances at Barbara B. Mann Performing Arts Hall, performances with the Gulf Coast Symphony, and world-premiere performances. Singers have the opportunity to enhance their vocal skills and make new friends along the way.

The City of Palms Youth Choir was formed by the Fort Myers Mastersingers over five years ago in order to provide singing opportunities for young people as funding for arts programs in public schools began to decrease. Rehearsals are conducted by director Matt Koller and accompanied by Mastersingers pianist Janet Carter. Warm-ups, vocal technique, rhythm and ensemble skills are part of each rehearsal.

The City of Palms Youth Choir season begins in September and continues through April. Dues for the season are $250 which covers all administrative and music fees.
