The Cincinnati Choral Academy (CCA) is a collaborative program of the Cincinnati Youth Choir, Cincinnati May Festival, and the Vocal Arts Ensemble. CCA is a free after-school program offering a comprehensive music literacy and choral education to students in grades 3-6, once or twice per week. Participants who would benefit most from the Choral Academy are recommended by school staff members. Recommended students are not required to have prior musical experience, but a commitment to attending all weekly rehearsals and performances is essential.

Your generosity helps the Cincinnati Youth Choir provide transformative musical experiences for young singers. Donations directly support essential program needs, such as hiring skilled accompanists and teaching artists, purchasing new music, and ensuring children have access to high-quality choral education. Contributions also help fund performance attire, transportation for engagement programs, and scholarships for young musicians.
