Launched by the Minnesota Chorale in 2007, the Minneapolis Youth Chorus is open to Minneapolis public and charter school students in grades 6 through 8. MYC seeks to enrich the lives of participants by providing them with opportunities to develop their musical gifts in an environment dedicated to the celebration of diversity and the pursuit of artistic excellence. The program is offered at no charge to participants: all costs are borne by the Minnesota Chorale. Prelude, a choir for 3rd, 4th and 5th graders new to the MYC program, was established in 2012. It is designed as an introductory choral experience for younger singers.

To the Student Singers, Conductor and Pianist that performed “O, Colored Earth” at the 2019 Inauguration:
Your rendition was the first time I had ever been exposed to that beautiful and profound piece of music and I along with many others (I’m sure) were moved. The words of that song carry a strong and meaningful message of peace, truth and love, especially when sung by young people. As representatives of your generation, you displayed passion as you were singing those words on the stage at the Fitzgerald; and it gave me hope in these troubled time. To paraphrase the last verse: your lives, and your voices, are indeed sacred and a gift our community. Know that you are making a difference. And know that your efforts are not in vain. Thank You. Sincerely, Douglas M. Wenzel Richfield |
