Youth Singers of Calgary- See It, Hear It, Believe It: A 25th Anniversary Celebration
Southern Jubilee Auditorium, CALGARY
25 years ago the Youth Singers of Calgary were revolutionary. The idea of having young people singing and dancing at the same time and then to have those same performers present serious concert stuff was unheard of. “Impossible!” our detractors said. A quarter of a century later and we’re still here, still breaking new ground. We’ve let the music lead us, and what an amazing journey it has been. Here we are – 25 years strong. See it! Hear it! Believe it!
TICKETS available through Ticketmaster on March 22nd
