Youth Chorus

Based in Champaign, IL

Founded in 1978, CIYC (formerly CICC) provides choral music instruction, vocal training, and performance opportunities for singers in kindergarten through twelfth grade.

The chorus includes four choir levels (see below) and draws members from communities within a 30-mile radius of Champaign-Urbana.

Members are taught sound vocal technique, musicianship, musical styles, and performance etiquette. They learn repertoire covering a diverse range of music, languages, and composers.

CIYC singers present annual concerts in winter and spring, perform with area orchestras and with the University of Illinois School of Music, and participate in choral festivals, as well as community, corporate, and private events.

Most importantly, CIYC choristers experience the joy, discipline, pride, and teamwork of high-quality choral singing.

Founded - 1978.
