Childrens Chorus

Based in Fredonia, NY

The Chautauqua Youth Chorus, formerly known as the Chautauqua Children's Chorale, was formed in 1988 by Nancy A. Krestic and Dr. Donald P. Lang. It was formed with the mission to promote excellence in singing and musical growth, and give a different dimension to the choral experience for children.

The CYC is made up of two choirs of children ages 8 to 17: Junior Chorale and Concert Chorale. There are approximately 60 singers in Chorale. Both choirs perform a wide variety of music, including sacred, classical, secular choral music and contemporary music written specifically for unchanged voices and the concert stage.

Periodically the CYC has commissioned choral works written specifically for them. The Chautauqua Youth Chorus is an Ensemble in Residence at SUNY Fredonia School of Music and is a member of Chorus America. Auditions are required for membership

Auditioned.
