YVC produced the first children’s opera on the Newman Center stage and performed, in Chinese, the American premiere of Chinese composter Tan Dun’s Symphony of Peace with DU’s Lamont Symphony. We have performed, by invitation, for conferences of the Colorado Music Educator’s Association (CMEA), American Chorale Director’s Association (ACDA), Southwestern ACDA and National and Regional Organization of American Kodaly Educators (OAKE) and in Carnegie Hall. We collaborate with local talent such as the Denver Brass, symphony orchestras from Parker, Littleton, Lone Tree, Denver and the Spirituals Project. YVC’s senior choirs and soloists have represented the US in the prestigious International Music Eisteddfod competition in Wales, some going on to win.
