What are the Chicago Children’s Choir program options?
Chicago Children’s Choir offers programs through nearly 100 Chicago schools (In-School Program), in 12 communities (Neighborhood Choir programs), an ensemble for changing voices (Dimension), and a high school age advanced youth ensemble (Voice of Chicago).


In-School Choirs
Through the In-School Choir program, over 4,000 children in nearly 100 Chicago schools receive classroom training in basic music theory and choral performance from professional music educators. Singers in this program have the opportunity to explore the expressive qualities of music while developing a sense of self-discipline, pride and intercultural understanding.
After School Choirs
Chicago Children’s Choir’s After School Programs begin allowing singers to participate in any of 12 community-based Neighborhood Choirs and potentially advance into Dimension (an ensemble for changing voices) and Voice of Chicago (a high school age advanced youth ensemble). These programs are open to 8-18 year old singers and offer levels of programming to suit varying levels of musical ability.
Neighborhood Choirs are tuition based programs that provide beginning and intermediate choral training with a deeper, performance-based education and increased opportunities to connect with singers through after-school programs in 12 Chicago communities across the city and beyond.

Dimension is a unique ensemble for singers age 12 and up who are beginning the vocal transition into emerging tenor and baritone voices. This ensemble offers many performance opportunities independently and with other CCC programs.
Voice of Chicago is our premier mixed-voice ensemble, maintaining an extensive performance schedule that includes touring and collaborations with Chicago’s finest cultural institutions.
