Cary Children’s Concert Choir (C4) and Cary Youth Chorale
If there is one thing that defines Cary and its community, it is children and families with children. The youth program has several benefits:
- It involves a greater share of the community
- It allows parents in the chorus to encourage similar musical enrichment in their children’s schedules
- It allows us to educate young people and their parents in the value of arts programs
- It allows us to expose children to new sounds and new literature
In contrast to many community groups that are auditioned and highly selective, it is the goal of this organization to be as inclusive as possible. Auditions will be required for acceptance (with a parent present during the audition) and children are only excluded from participation under the most extreme circumstances. Our mission is to provide young participants with all of the skills and experiences that are conducive to life-long music-making.
Who Can Join?
The choirs are open to singers in grades 3 though 9 (typically ages 8 through 14). C4 includes singers in grades 3 through 6 and CYC grades 6 through 9. Sixth-graders are encouraged to sing in both groups. No prior singing experience is necessary. Auditions are required for acceptance (with a parent present during the audition), but children will only be excluded from participation only under the most extreme circumstances. There are no restrictions on residence.
