Angelica Cantanti Youth Choirs (ACYC) has inspired local young voices for decades, including Plymouth’s Naia Spoonheim, 16, who began singing in her church choir at age 4 and joined ACYC in 2023. She heard about ACYC from her cousin, who had nothing but good things to say about his experience. “He convinced me that I needed this in my life, and he was right,” Naia says.
The 2025–26 concert season marks the 45th anniversary of the choir and includes ACYC’s Winter Concert at the Ordway Concert Hall on December 7. Concertgoers can expect to hear winter tunes during two concerts, one at 4:30 p.m., featuring younger choirs (third through eighth grade) and another at 7:30 p.m, featuring older choirs (ninth through 12th grade).
The winter concert feels magical. Naia says. “By that point, you start to get a good feel for how to blend your voices,” she says. For ticketing information, visit angelicacantanti.org.
