Mark your calendars now for a concert at 7:00 PM on Fri., May 18 by a touring group from the Phoenix Boys Choir. Thirty boys aged 9 - 14 will sing at the Yosemite New Life Church of the Nazarene in Oakhurst. Directed by Gregory Amerind, formerly of Oakhurst, this group will perform classical music and lighter fare.

Since 1948, the Phoenix Boys Choir has provided top quality music education for boys ages 7-14 and lively entertainment for audiences around the world. A boys choir has a special sound; you can hear them on their website.

The program will also include director Amerind singing two compositions written by Coarsegold resident Barbara Ulman, who will accompany him on the piano. They first performed this music in an Oakhurst concert in 1984.

Sponsored by Vision Academy of the Arts, this concert has no admission charge. A freewill donation will be collected to help with expenses. The church is on Junction Drive, past Sears and the bowling alley, at the top of the hill.

"We come from many different lands, and no two journeys have been the same, yet we are all followers of dreams.

The dreams of peace, hope and freedom echo in our hearts from those who have gone before us."

Session II: "On the Radio KYDZ"

"Welcome to KYDZ, the radio station that plays the hits while you sing along. Meet disc jockey Marvelous Mike and sidekick Jivin' Judy as they play the oldies, the goodies, and all the songs kids have loved throughout the years. From the Depression and WWII to Elvis, the Beatles, and Disco, the radio is where America hears the songs that become the soundtracks of their lives."

Session III: "Joust! A Mighty Medieval Musical"

June 25-29

"Imagine a world where all weapons were replaced by musical instruments! Welcome to the legend of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table - as you've never seen it or heard it before.
