The Rockport Music Youth Spotlight concert is a celebration of our youth instructional programs featuring the Cape Ann Youth Chorus, members of the Cape Ann Jazz Workshop Messengers, and original songs from Writing our Musical History. Each program offers a unique opportunity for young musicians in our community: an after-school youth chorus that meets throughout the school year, advanced musicians from our long-running summer jazz workshop who are building professional gigging experience while developing leadership skills, and an in-school residency program focused on cultivating students’ creative voices through original songs.
