The Coastal Sound Youth Choir is fast becoming well known across British Columbia for their creative and unique approach to choral music. Using creative staging, movement and multimedia, the Coastal Sound Youth Choir crafts performances that have been described as “soul-elevating”, “truly imaginative” and “vibrating with life”.
Extremely enthusiastic and very energetic, this close-knit group of teenagers and young adults maintains a busy performance schedule. Along with yearly retreats and concert tours, the choir also enjoys spending social time together at informal gatherings and events. In 2010 and 2011, the Coastal Sound Youth Choir shared the stage with renowned vocal groups The Nylons, musica intima, The Shirleys and The Good Noise Gospel Choir, and recorded a song with Nikki Yanofsky. This past spring, the choir was selected as a finalist in the National Competition for Amateur Choirs, and chosen as the “most outstanding choir” at the BC Festival of the Performing Arts. This July, the youth choir will be co-hosting the Coastal Sound International Choral Festival, where hundreds of singers come together from around the world for a week of performance and sharing..
The Coastal Sound Youth Choir has recently released its’ first cd – “Lights” and the singers are looking forward to a concert tour to Great Britain in the summer of 2012.
