Colorado Springs Children's Chorale

A nonprofit organization

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.

Testimonials

Alumni Erica: "I am so glad I was in the Colorado Springs Children’s Chorale because thanks to that I now work on 42nd Street in New York City.”

Snger, DeAnte: "The arts can take away your sadness, your anger, your fears. Art makes you see the beauty in life. If asked how I know this, I would say Look At Me."

Local music educator: "Your singers and directors embrace our kiddos musically and personally and lift them up to a new place of learning and being.  Thank you for reminding me of what it is to communicate love, community, and growth through music.”  

Mission

Inspiring youth to musical excellence and artistic expression in a nurturing environment - cultivating integrity, professionalism and leadership.

Background Statement

Founded in 1977 as a civic children's choir, the Colorado Springs Children's Chorale (CSCC) has grown from a single choir of 25 children to four choirs with more than 200 members from 50 schools representing nine school districts throughout the Pikes Peak region. Each singer is auditioned for membership and regular evaluations determine his or her placement within the organization.

Located in Colorado Springs, CSCC serves the entire Pikes Peak Region, including the mountain towns of Teller County, the eastern plains regions of the state, the Tri-Lakes area at our northern-most end; and Widefield, Fountain, and Security to the south which includes a large military population. We are proud to serve a broad demographic in the community through concerts, workshops and residencies in all school districts; involvement in organizations such as the Pikes Peak Arts Council, Imagination Celebration, the Woodland Park Arts Alliance, the CS Sister City Committee, and the CS Diversity Forum. In 2014 the CSCC spearheaded the formation of a new community group called The CHORALaborative-an unprecedented collaboration of 10 choral arts organizations serving the Pikes Peak region that is still operating successfully.

CSCC presents two major concerts at the Pikes Peak Center and over 100 smaller concerts, workshops and other training sessions each year. Our outreach programs are central to our contribution to the community and include the School Blitz, Adopt A District and School Partnership Programs, Tuition Assistance, the Southern Colorado In Harmony Festival, Satellite programs, the Generations Initiative, and a Colorado touring program that reaches out to rural communities throughout the state.
