Youth Chorus

Based in Des Moines, WA

NWAA's Youth Choral Education Program (YCEP) is committed to providing musical education and performance opportunities for young people from grades 4 through 12 in the South King County area through its youth choir, YouthSounds Northwest. YouthSounds performs concerts throughout Burien, including NWAA's annual ChristmasSounds in Burien at Highline Performing Arts Center every December.

In a time of radical funding cuts to music programs in the schools, these ensembles provide an important and life-changing opportunity for students to learn through the discipline of music. Along the way, audiences are delighted with the entertaining performances of these dedicated young singers.

The goal of YCEP is to foster a love of singing by engaging a wide variety of music repertoire. Proper vocal technique, theory and artistry are emphasized with an eye towards developing well-rounded young musicians.

YCEP is funded, in part, by the generous support of: 4Culture, City of Burien, Tagney-Jones Foundation, KPFF Consulting Engineers, 909 Coffee & Wine, Tin Room Bar & Theater, and many individuals & families throughout our community.
