YCCM & Friends Choral Fesitval

Join us for an unforgettable musical experience at the YCCM & Friends Choral Festival, where alumni, current members, and friends of YCCM will come together to rehearse and perform Dan Forrest’s Requiem for the Living. This inspiring choral work offers a profound and moving journey through sorrow, hope, and peace, brought to life with a full orchestra.

Rehearsals will take place throughout June, both in-person and through recorded sessions, allowing participants to prepare at their own pace. The festival weekend, June 27-28, 2025, will feature immersive rehearsals, community-building opportunities, and a culminating performance.

$75 Registration Fee includes a festival t-shirt and light breakfast on Saturday.
