The
Young@Heart Chorus is a vocal group from Northampton, MA, who have earned an international reputation for their unique interpretations of songs by
Sonic Youth,
the Ramones, and
the Clash. However, this isn't a teenage
garage band attacking the classic
punk rock songbook -- the
Young@Heart Chorus is comprised of 22 senior citizens whose average age is 80, and under director
Bob Cilman they've gained a degree of fame for their enthusiastic
a cappella renditions of well-known
rock & roll tunes. Filmmaker
Stephen Walker spent several weeks with the members of the
Young@Heart Chorus as they rehearsed for their annual concert in Northampton, and
Young@Heart is a
documentary which offers a look at their rigorous rehearsal process, the background of several members, and their efforts to stay active and think positive, even as their friends succumb to old age. Produced for British television,
Young@Heart was screened in competition at the
2007 Los Angeles Film Festival.
