AU will return after a 2 year hiatus to share the stage with the 155 singers of the Camas High School choir program - a collaboration between choral director Ethan Chessin, Luke Wyland of AU, and Young Audiences of Oregon & SW Washington.

As well as performing music composed specifically for them, the choir has also spent months learning the ins and outs of booking shows, designing posters, running sound, and writing press releases (you’ll see one example attached below). 

In addition to the choir, AU will be expanded to a 6 piece ensemble comprised of members of Like A Villain, Blue Cranes, Aan and the Crenshaw.

This yearlong project culminates in a unique and fascinating performance at Yale Union, with performances by Edna Vazquez & Luz Elena Mendoza (of Y La Bamba) along with student bands and songwriters. The press release you’ll find attached was written entirely by students, and it’s not exaggerating: this performance will be one of the most memorable Portland shows of 2016.
