Christmas Quartets is CYT Spokane's annual, traditional tour group. Singing traditional carols and popular Christmas favorites in 4-part a capella harmony, this group is the next level for advanced singers. The group will travel around Spokane during the Christmas season in Dickens costumes, spreading the joy and cheer of the season through their beautiful melodies. Additional time will be required as the class will include approximately 10 performance opportunities in the community throughout the month of December and may also include extra rehearsal time if needed.
Parents, please note that there will be additional involvement on your part to help make this tour group a success. A parent meeting will be held on the first night of class to cover these details. There is also a $30 production fee required to cover additional costs of the class.

Teacher:
Presley DuPuis
Presley DuPuis is a proud CYT graduate who flipped over to the grown-up side and hasn't looked back since North Idaho first staged production, Snow White, in 2008 (playing the Magic Mirror). He has gone from being the kid who would play the piano backstage that he wasn't allowed to touch, to a full-fledged accompanist. Over the past decade he has worn many different hats in various CYT leadership roles including teacher, music director, director, pit musician, HYPE adviser, and improv coach. Presley holds his Bachelor of Arts in Music from Eastern Washington University and serves as the resident music director for Aspire Community Theatre while also maintaining his own private music studio where he instructs in both voice and piano. He can always be found playing, teaching, and collaborating with local community theatres, schools, universities, and choirs.
