Chicago Children's Choir offers various programs ranging from In-School Programs to after school programs in eight neighborhoods, DiMension and the Concert Choir. We currently have In-School Programs in 45 schools throughout Chicago.

Our eight Neighborhood Choirs, for singers 3rd grade and up, rehearse twice a week and provide training in vocal technique, music reading, and performance skills. Each choir performs several times during the year. Many of our Neighborhood Choirs divide into two levels, our beginning Choir Allegro and a more advanced level Vivace. Many singers in Vivace have the opportunity to take a short tour in the spring.

DiMension is a unique ensemble for young men with changing voices, or voices who have just changed including those in late elementary, middle school, and into high school. Singers learn to understand their own voices through male ensemble singing, solo opportunities, sight reading, and music theory. Training and repertoire are specifically designed to guide young men through the vocal transition.

The Concert Choir, the top choir of the Chicago Children’s Choir, consist of singers ages 10-18. Its repertoire includes the finest classical and international music. The Concert Choir collaborates regularly professional Chicago Arts organizations. Members of the Concert Choir have performed throughout the United States and on international tours; in past years the Choir has visited Korea, Canada, Mexico, Italy, Ukraine, Czech Republic, Japan, Russia, Great Britain, Europe and South Africa.

The Concert Choir consists of five smaller divisions: Treble Ensemble, an advanced treble choir; Chamber Ensemble, made up of high-school age girls; and Men’s Chorus, for boys whose voices have changed. In addition, Concert Choir members are eligible to audition for the special Madrigal Singers and Show Choir.

The Concert Choir rehearses twice a week and has an extensive performance schedule.
