The world-renowned Concert Choir is the pinnacle of the Chicago Children’s Choir experience, demonstrating the Choir's commitment to diversity, ambassadorship and artistic excellence. These advanced singers are selected from the In-School and Neighborhood Choir Programs and through open auditions, bringing together a diverse group of children from throughout the city. The repertoire is unique among children’s choirs, spanning classical, world, gospel and popular music, all performed in the original language.
The Concert Choir is comprised of three ensembles:
Treble
, a traditional children's choir of unchanged soprano and alto voices,
Chamber
, changed-voice women, and
Men's Chorus
, changed-voice high-school-age singers.
There are also two auditioned ensembles:
› Madrigals Ensemble
- sings a diverse repertoire of a cappella music ranging from Renaissance madrigals to world folk songs.
› Show Choir
- incorporates movement and dance in its repertoire of musical theater, vocal jazz, and popular music.
