Rainier Youth Choir to sing with Barry Manilow


January 9, 2013 · 12:47 PM

Singers in the Rainier Youth Choirs are rehearsing to perform with Barry Manilow Jan. 11 at the ShoWare Center in Kent as part of PANDORA Unforgettable Moments of Love On Ice.

Manilow will perform more than 20 of his hits live while Olympic stars Nancy Kerrigan, Ben Agosto, and others perform on the ice.

Being asked to sing during the grand finale is a great honor for Rainier Youth Choirs, said RYC Choral Director Leora Schitters.

"It is with great confidence that I've accepted this last minute challenge," Schitters said. "I know RYC singers can learn and memorize quickly, and have the professional stage presence to be able to work with another world famous entertainer."
