Participating choirs will premier a work by Main, commissioned for the festival. In addition, choirs will receive an individual clinic from the directors of the Youth Chorus of Kansas City, as well as the opportunity to perform alone in the concert and in a local church.

Participating in the City of Fountains Choral Festival will include lodging, meals, and transportation in the city for each group.

The Youth Chorus of Kansas City offers singers in grades 2-12 the opportunity to pursue excellence through performance, build skills and experience, become leaders in their respective schools – and have fun in a consistent activity that can bring life-long joy.
