Yuba Sutter Arts & Culture is pleased to announce the return of the Yuba Sutter Youth Choir. We completed the Spring 2024 season with the theme “Retro Groovy ‘70s.”
The Yuba Sutter Youth Choir is one of Yuba Sutter Arts & Culture’s Arts in Education programs. During COVID, the popular program had to be suspended. Classes were held at the Burrows Theater at 630 E Street in Marysville. Instruction is offered for students from 7 – 14 years of age.
The Youth Choir will return to offering classes in Fall 2024!
Once again, the Youth Choir is directed by the incomparable Gay Galvin. Gay has been singing and playing piano since she was six years old. Trained in classical and jazz styles, she has worked in big bands, musicals, jazz trios, and various classical ensembles. She is an accomplished vocalist and has taught choir at all age levels. Gay is a founder of the Yuba Sutter Big Band. Originally from Ohio, Gay has a master’s degree in music. She teaches piano in her studio in Marysville. She plays most musical genres and has even played in rock bands. Gay also leads her own jazz trio.
“I’m so privileged to lead the youth choir again this year,” said Gay. “And what better way to engage young singers than with the universally loved songs from the ‘70s,” she added.
“We are pleased to be able to restart our Youth Choir program and especially now that we can continue to offer it to students at a significantly reduced rate thanks to additional grant funding we’ve received,”
