Youth Singers of Calgary (YSC) is celebrating four decades of inspiring performers. To commemorate this occasion, YSC is hosting Spotlight YSC, a free one-day community celebration on Sunday, October 26, 2025, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Studio Bell, home of the National Music Centre. Discover the history of the Youth Singers throughout the decades.

Our 2025/26 season opens with Mexicana Ensemble led by celebrated singer Gisela Romero. A deeply personal and vibrant musical journey into the singer herself, this project pays homage to her roots by fusing the traditions of Mexican and Latin American folk music with contemporary jazz, flamenco, salsa, and huapango elements.
