OUR MISSion:

 Welcome back to the Cincinnati Boychoir’s 62nd season! Over the past few years I have witnessed firsthand the transformative power of great arts organizations in our city. From my time singing with the May Festival Chorus and Vocal Arts Ensemble, to my work as Associate Director of the Boychoir last year, I have been in constant awe of the incredible musicianship and humanity being fostered in Cincinnati’s choral music scene. I am thrilled to continue my work with the Boychoir this year as Director. The Cincinnati Boychoir believes first and foremost in the value of each individual singer. We will work this year to foster a culture of mutual support and fundamental community, while striving for even greater artistic heights. It is my belief that the Boychoir can and will be a place where each singer can find their own voice, preparing them to excel in any artistic setting in Cincinnati and beyond. There are many new faces this year, and even a new rehearsal venue, but still the same attention to detail and emphasis on excellence that has defined the Cincinnati Boychoir for the past 62 years. We are thrilled to partner with the Clifton Cultural Arts Center this year as our rehearsal space, as we support their mission of providing a dynamic, human-centered environment for learning, growing, and making great art. 

This season revolves around new beginnings and renewed commitment to beauty and community building. This year, we collaborate with the Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music (CCM), Vocal Arts Ensemble (VAE), May Festival Chorus and Youth Chorus, Young Professionals Choral Collective (YPCC), and countless clinicians, guest artists, and community partners. Our Fall Showcase this season is built around the hymn “How Can I Keep From Singing?” It will celebrate the innate longing in each of us to make our voices heard and to do so alongside people we care for. Our Spring showcase will extend that idea to our city, with a celebration of music from and about Cincinnati. Other season highlights include appearances by members of the Boychoir in CCM’s production of La Bohéme in October, a featured performance alongside the Vocal Arts Ensemble in December, and an appearance by the Boychoir on the stage of Music Hall during the May Festival. 

Our new artistic team is delighted to begin this exciting chapter in the history of the Boychoir! Greg Miller (Associate Director, Director of Choirs at Cincinnati Country Day School) brings a wealth of knowledge regarding the development of young voices. Assisting the directors are Audrey Weber (Director of Choirs at Colerain High School), Edy Dreith (May Festival Education Manager), and Kaleb Hilton (Director of Choirs at Indian Hill High School).  

I look forward to a wonderful season and invite you to join us!
