To be in the Performing Arts means so many things. Not just singing. Not Just dancing. But the whole person. There are so many facets to performing that are overlooked. What the Young Americans did is help open our eyes to all the different ways theatre and music can touch us. It is important that we continue to support our students in the arts program - and your North Reading Performing Arts Staff district wide is dedicated to making sure that happens. We want to ensure that the whole student is taken care of. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to help keep your student performing. Thank you for your support.
Six years ago, when the music program was cut throughout the district, Masquers brought the Young Americans to North Reading. Over 275 students from 3-12 grade participated in a three day, intensive workshop that culminated in two sold out performances.
Time has passed; six years in fact. And now the return of the Young Americans.
The acclaimed song and dance company The Young Americans is set to bring its 2014 Music Outreach Tour to North Reading for 250 students third through twelfth grader in a 3-day Outreach Workshop experience. The Young Americans is comprised of 200 performers/peer teachers ages 17 to 23 that travel the USA and throughout the world promoting music and performing arts while conveying a naturally honest image of youth.
The group, founded by Milton C. Anderson over 40 years ago, has gained notoriety through television appearances, recordings, concerts in some the world’s finest venues and won an academy award for their documentary “The Young Americans”. Through their International Music Outreach Program, in existence for the past 15 years, these extraordinarily talented young role models reach out and inspire young people by opening doors to discovering self esteem, self discipline and respect for others through the common denominator of music and performance. After just 2 days of workshop training in performance, song and dance, all participants join The Young Americans in a spectacular 2-hour live public performance for family and friends! Workshops are available for all 3rd through 12th grade age groups by request to The Young Americans.
In each 3-day Outreach Workshop, a company of 40 Young Americans will teach students a full one hour performance concert complete with staging, lights, costumes, music and dance. These brave young students, bursting with enthusiasm and accomplishment, sing, dance and act to the amazement of their teachers, friends and family. It is truly awe inspiring how the students are transformed with a new-found level of confidence and self-expression, discovering the strength within to try new things, to see through stereotypes and intolerance and to see the good in other people. Most importantly they learn and experience how they can be true to their own self. In a world where the most visible role models for our young people are entering prisons and rehab clinics at an alarming rate, it is refreshing to see and experience hope for our future generations.
What makes The Young Americans so unique is the perfect balance between arts and education and the willingness of each member to unconditionally give of themselves to others. These extraordinary young people tour the world as goodwill ambassadors, teachers and performers giving inspiration to thousands annually for over 40 years. In the past year, the company has staged over 200 performances and workshops in 120 cities, across 11 countries and 3 continents.
Don't miss out - you won't be sorry!
