Little Traverse Youth Choir



The LTYC Touring Choir will sing the National Anthem for the Harlem Globetrotters game at Petoskey High School on Monday, January 23, 2012!

The Little Traverse Youth Choir was formed by Voices Without Borders as an outgrowth of the 2009 Children of the World in
Harmony Festival. The auditioned choir is comprised of approximately 40 youth, ages 8-18 in two separate performing groups. The more advanced Touring Choir performs throughout the year in a variety of settings. The Treble Choir has three shorter performing seasons. Both choirs perform in June with the VWB Children of the World in Harmony International Choir and Dance Festival.
The Little Traverse Youth Choir is under the direction of Mrs. Heather Marvin, Enrichment Coordinator at Petoskey Middle School. Mrs. Marvin has directed several youth and adult choirs and musicals over the years. She is a soloist and chorus member in the Little Traverse Choral Society and Great Lakes Chamber Chorus. The Little Traverse Youth Choir is accompanied by Amy Rhudy.            



The choir aims to broaden students' musical backgrounds by singing classical, sacred and contemporary works. The choir debuted as a guest choir with the Little Traverse Choral Society concerts in May, 2010, followed by a solo concert at the St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church in Petoskey, Michigan.





During the summers of 2010 and 2011, the choir participated in Voices Without Borders' Children of the World in Harmony Festival, joining over 300 young singers and dancers from around the world. Summer, 2011 included concerts with the Young Americans, the Petoskey Historic Festival, the Bay Harbor Boat Show, and a concert in Nardin Park, near Detroit, MI. The choir performed selections from Vivaldi, Rutter, Papoulis and a medley from the Broadway musical, Wicked. The 2011 fall season included a joint concert with Dance Attack and perfmances prior to the Messiah concerts presented by the Great Lakes Chamber Orchestra & Chorus. It will open 2012 by singing the National Anthem for the Harlem Globetrotters!

A midwest concert tour is scheduled for April, 2012. Carmina Burana with the Great Lakes Chamber Orchestra & Chorus is scheduled for June, 2012. An international tour is planned for 2013.
