Community Engagement
We value a diverse, inclusive, and welcoming organization that promotes awareness, increases understanding, and builds trust throughout our Boychoir family and the Greater Cincinnati community.
Cultural Appreciation
We value broadening boys’ horizons and experiences through a robust cultural curriculum and unique travel opportunities.
Statement on Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Access (DEIA)
We care about the holistic development of boys and young men in an environment that is welcoming, safe, and allows growth through artistic expression.
Because when everyone has a voice at the table, we learn from each other, we develop empathy and understanding, we learn to support one another, and we become stronger as an organization and a community.
Therefore, you should see us seeking, valuing, and growing from different perspectives as we recruit, welcome, program, perform and engage in our community.
Who We Are
Cincinnati Boychoir is a choir for male-identifying youth of all musical abilities from across the Greater Cincinnati Region. Founded in 1965, the Boychoir is a teaching and performing organization that offers musical enrichment, performance, and touring opportunities.
Our vocal ensembles are directed by professional music educators who teach a curriculum not only of musical skills but cultural appreciation, empathy, self-discipline, leadership, mentorship, and a spirit of volunteerism.
Boys from grades 3-12 attend weekly rehearsals, and commit from 6 weeks to a full academic year. Each week, all boys come together for a combined rehearsal in which older boys are empowered as big brothers to younger boys, teaching them the nuts and bolts of music and singing, as well as how to tie their bowtie and more.
We present approximately twenty annual performances in the greater Cincinnati region, and have performed concerts and completed residencies both at home and abroad.
We strive to make the Boychoir accessible to boys of all racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic backgrounds, so they have the opportunity to experience the life changing impact of immersive arts participation.
