The youth ensemble program, administered by the University of Southern Maine, receives major financial support from its corporate sponsor, Fleet Bank.
Admission is free.
The children involved are divided into a Training Choir and a more seasoned Concert Choir, some of whom who are 10 to 15 years old and have been singing together for several years now. Diana Mosher serves as assistant conductor, and Katy Stetson as accompanist. These two choirs are vocal performance ensembles for children. The emphasis is to encourage musical growth in the members and to offer them opportunities to perform a wide variety of choral repertoire at a high level. The groups also help young singers develop camaraderie with other singers and to become a member of a musical community.
