“I have been a big
fan of the African Children’s
Choir ever since I found them
on YouTube in 2019,” shares
Rebecca Flaherty, CYC Board
Member and Music Teach
er at Marshpoint Elementary.
“When I learned that they were
touring the eastern coast of
the U.S, I wrote to ask if they
would make a stop in Savan
nah. My fellow CYC Board
members and I are thrilled that
they have graciously agreed,
and furthermore delighted that
the African Children’s Choir
has invited singers from Coast
al Youth Choirs and Marsh-
point Elementary Chorus to
join them onstage for one song.
What an incredible experience
this will be for our choristers
and all those in attendance!”

offer this concert as a part of
our international choir ex
