The Salem Youth Chorus was founded in 2007 in order to provide teens in the 
greater Salem, OH area with the opportunity to sing great choral music as 
crafted by the compositional masters. The current ensemble has 20 members, ages 
14-19. Our music program proudly attracts young persons from communities 
throughout Columbiana and Mahoning counties. In addition to our local concerts 
and as part of our 2008 summer tour, the Salem Youth Chorus sang a concert at 
BrutonParishChurch in Colonial Williamsburg, VA and then sang Choral Evensong at 
The Washington National Cathedral in DC. In July of 2009, we traveled to NYC and 
sang at The Cathedral of St. John the Divine. The SYC was the guest choir for 
the 2010 and 2011 Boar’s Head and Yule Log Festival at St. John’s Episcopal 
Church in Youngstown and will return for the 2012 Festival. We have released 
three CD’s, Morning Has Broken, Evening Reflections and A Festival of Lessons 
and Carols, Christmas CD. The ensemble was a prizewinner in the 2010 national 
music competition, The American Prize. In August of 2010, the SYC traveled to 
Cathedrals in England, Ireland and Wales for concerts and Choral Evensong.
