Although learning to sing well is our focus, the chorale provides opportunities for children to develop skills in goal setting, teamwork, self-discipline, poise, and self-confidence. It is our experience and belief that all youth can benefit from our outreach; we strive to negate any barriers.
Alumni and Professional Artist Franklin Bennet: "Thanks to each and everyone of you that led me to a career in the arts — an impossible dream for some — and equipped me with the tools to not just achieve it, but to thrive. "
Alumni Megan: “I’ve never felt more myself than in my own time in children's chorale!”
Angela Seals, E.D. Cultural Office of the Pikes Peak Region: “In Harmony Festival is an experience that’s bigger than its individual parts. The dramatic venue, uplifting program, and total effect of so many diverse voices joining makes a powerful statement about arts education and collective good. It always fills me with hope.”
Henry Leck, Famous Choral Conductor, Father of the Children’s Choir Movement: “Recently I had the privilege once again to work with the Colorado Springs Children’s Chorale…. what an incredible group of young singers. Their expressivity, musicality and passion is inspirational! Each time I heard them perform, I was moved by their connection with the audience artistically. In an ensemble with unchanged, changing and fully changed voices, the ownership of the music, vocally was extremely impressive. Congratulations to all involved! Keep up the great work !”
Habitat for Humanity: "We just wanted to thank you SO much for coming all the way down to Fountain to sing at our Home Dedication. The children’s performances were extremely touching and people have been talking about it for days now!"
Inspiring youth to musical excellence and artistic expression in a nurturing environment - cultivating integrity, professionalism and leadership.
