Five unique concerts are performed over two weekends, resulting in a magnificent array of choral masterpieces and little known gems that provide an unusual choral experience for audience and performers alike.  Established in 1873, the May Festival is directly responsible for the development of Cincinnati’s modern musical life. Music Hall, the city’s primary concert venue, was built specifically to house the Festival's performances in 1878, and the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, the fifth oldest orchestra in the United States, can trace its lineage back to this great tradition. The prestigious roster of May Festival Music Directors has included, among others, Theodore Thomas, Max Rudolf, James Levine and James Conlon. Current Artistic Leadership include Juanjo Mena as Principal Conductor, Robert Porco as Director of Choruses and Matthew Swanson as Associate Director and Conductor of the May Festival Youth Chorus.

In addition, VAE produces outreach programs for children, youth and seniors, as well as recordings for local and national broadcasts.

Proficiency in each studio media is not required as one can learn alongside the high school students whenever needed.

1st semester: The bulk of the instruction centers on experiments in the various media as in those mentioned above. Upon conclusion of experience with new media (called Skill Building), students decide on their preferred media to execute a final piece of art that connects to a theme presented to them by the Director of Education.

2nd semester: Students continue to hone their skills in the various media again preparing to produce a final artwork within the new semester theme.

Lesson Plan Development and Monitoring Student Progress
All of the Ohio Department of Education regulations for meeting credit granting standards are handled by the CATS Director of Education. All rubrics, thematic units, handouts, and other course materials are created for instructors. The main duty of the substitute instructor is to help students continue to work on their projects in the absence of a studio instructor.
 
Monitoring, tracking and reporting student progress is done by the Director of Education and with the input and support of the substitute instructor.

Other Duties and Expectations
- Arrive ½ hour prior to the beginning of class.
- Complete all paperwork, assignments, and other duties.
- Get familiar with each studio by spending time learning in each whenever not substituting.

About YPCC
The Young Professionals Choral Collective of Cincinnati (YPCC) believes in creating connections through choral music. YPCC was formed in Cincinnati in November 2011 and has a roster of over 1200 volunteer singers ranging in age from 21-45 who live and work throughout Greater Cincinnati. Singers of all experience levels participate in accessible, non-auditioned, 8-week concert cycles with multiple entry points throughout the year; each cycle averages between 150-200 singers.

YPCC fosters an inclusive environment that celebrates the uniqueness and diversity of its members.

YPCC’s singers live and work throughout greater Cincinnati and our programming occurs in spaces that highlight the uniqueness of the city’s urban core. The organization, with support from local funding organizations such as ArtsWave Cincinnati, the Ohio Arts Council, and the Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce, is a key anchor for attracting and retaining young professional talent, contracting over 50 gigs a year in Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana. YPCC maintains a growing number of important artistic partnerships, including projects with The Cincinnati Opera, The Cincinnati Shakespeare Company, Madcap Puppet Theater, the Classical Roots choir from the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, Elementz, and the Contemporary Arts Center.

Our singers enjoy performing a wide variety of high-quality music reflecting a spectrum of musical genres varying from classical to contemporary works to Broadway arrangements to gospel and spiritual pieces. Concert repertoire ranges from predominantly a capella choirs to ensembles of varying sizes and instrumentation.
