Youth Vocalist Showcase
The next generation of rising stars.
From 5:00pm-6:00pm, the next generation of rising stars take the stage to showcase their blossoming talent! You may recognize many of these singers from previous years of ArtsPark and Hintonburg’s School Of Rock. Now fresh from work with Sarah McClurg, who teaches “students ages 6-18 learn how to sing and become working musicians”, our guests will dazzle you with the same numbers they perform in competitions, musicals, live concerts and events including Bluesfest and La Voix Junior.
6:15pm:
