A brother and a sister join a boys choir to raise their voices for youth mental health at a free concert this weekend here on our campus, the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.

“Hope Sings! Songs of Youth and Mental Health” - from Be the Change Youth Initiative and the Chattanooga Boys Choir - is Saturday, starting at 6 PM, in the Roland Hayes Concert Hall at the UTC Fine Arts Center.

Sydney Guerrette is the founder of Be the Change. She and her brother Brayden perform as In The Company of Wolves.

I spoke with their mom, Deirdre Catlett, also director of operations for Be the Change - and Vic Oakes, executive and artistic director of the Chattanooga Boys Choir.
