MNC’s YWISH Festival is a Day of Singing, Dancing & New Friendships

The Youth Working In Song & Harmony (YWISH) Festival hosted by MNC is a one-day workshop designed to introduce treble clef singers (ages 14 through 25) to learning and performing music in the a cappella style. The festival will be held on Saturday, November 16th from 9:00 am – 4:00 pm. (Check in at 8:30am) Participants will take part in workshops and rehearsals, enjoy lunch and dinner together, and then perform YWISH music selections on an MNC performance at 7pm that evening. St. John is located at 3259 McGavock Pk, Nashville, TN 37214.

We are excited to have Kim Wonders and Natalie Allen of the Metro Nashville Chorus as Festival Clinicians. Kim and Natalie are music educators and have a wealth of experience in coaching and directing women’s choruses and quartets. During the day, this team will work with festival participants on three music selections to introduce the barbershop craft including choreography.

We will award the Vickie Wonders Foltz Memorial Scholarship at the YWISH Festival - information and application are available here.

This event is made possible, in part, by grants from Sweet Adelines International and Robert K. and Anne H. Zelle Fund for Fine and Performing Arts of the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee.
