Join a Choir

Cincinnati Youth Choir is Ensemble-in-Residence at the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music (CCM). Our 5 resident choirs rehearse weekly (Tuesday and/or Thursdays nights) on CCM’s campus. All singers in grades 1-12 are welcomed and will be placed in a choir based on age and readiness. Though CCM resident choirs are tuition based, CYC offer’s tuition assistance in an effort to remove barriers for all families. We look forward to welcoming you to the program!

Cincinnati Choral Academy

Sing in the Cincinnati Public Schools

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.
