Choir Programs
The mission of Every Voice Choirs is to promote the musical and personal growth of youth by helping them discover their voices and share them with pride. We build on students' unique musical interests and experiences, creating ensembles shaped by their diverse members, in which every voice is welcome and every voice truly matters.
EVC has two Core Choirs, the Every Voice Kids Choir (ages 7-10) and the Every Voice Youth Choir (ages 10-16). There is no audition for these core choirs; everyone who makes a commitment to regular attendance and participation is welcome to join. Singers in the core choirs and workshops that seek additional, rigorous choral experience may audition for the Every Voice Concert Choir, our ensemble that performs in professional venues in collaboration with other choirs, orchestras, and artists. EVC's newest choir is VoiceAbility, for children ages 8-12 with special needs.
EVC's choirs sing music in diverse styles in a wide range of settings, with recent performances ranging from sporting events to two world premieres of works at Carnegie Hall. In our concerts, as in our rehearsals, we aspire to reflect and educate on themes of social justice.
