Yuba Sutter Arts is very pleased to announce its Summer Youth Choir program. Classes will begin on June 12th and will be held at the Burrows Theater at 7th and E Street in Marysville. The program will be under the direction of local music performer and educator, Alex Cesena.

There will be no class on July 4th, but an extra class will be added on July 6. The cost for the summer session is $75 per student and includes a Youth Choir T-shirt. The public Youth Choir performance will be held during YSA’s “For the Love of FRIDA Art & Culture Festival” on Saturday July 7th. Contact YSA at 530-742-ARTS or email abbie@yubasutterarts to register.
Alex Cesena is a well-known local singer, dancer and actor born and raised in Sutter County. No stranger to all of the stages in Yuba-Sutter, Alex performed in the “Way, Way, Way Off Broadway” shows, he’s been a featured pro-dancer for “Dancing with Our Stars” and he appeared in the “Bah, Humbug” Holiday variety shows. He appeared in “Putnam County Spelling Bee” and “Once Upon A Mattress” at The Acting Company. Most recently, Alex has been seen in the popular “Applause” series of concerts at The Burrows Theater at Yuba Sutter Arts.
Alex studied with the legendary vocal instructor, Joaquina Calvo Johnson, and has had further voice and theater training at Yuba College and American River College before moving to Southern California to attend the Young Americans College for the Performing Arts. Upon graduation, Alex went on multiple Young American Tours as an artist/instructor. His travels included extended workshops in Japan, Germany, Western Europe, and the Eastern and Western United States. He has helped train over 5,000 students between the ages of 7 and 18 in 400 communities worldwide.
Alex has appeared in many of the classics of the musical theater and is currently completing his Bachelor of Arts degree in Theater at Midland University in Nebraska.
“Alex assisted Obie Leff when we reinstated the Youth Choir program and did an outstanding job,” said David Read, Executive Director of YSA. “We are very fortunate to have Alex back in town for the summer and available to lead the choir program,” he added.
