The Ensembles

Special Note Regarding COVID-19

 

The rapidly changing news and science around the coronavirus make it difficult to plan very far into the future. We’ve experienced that at the Boychoir, along with our community and arts partners. We’re sure that extends to our families making decisions about children’s activities.


We are planning for a season of flexibility, with a few fun surprises in the works, that will include virtual activities, modified in-person activities, and when we're able to do so safely, in-person rehearsals and performances. Announcements will be made as we adjust to the latest public health guidance.


----


The Cincinnati Boychoir serves boys from all over the metro region in grades 3-12 with musical enrichment programming, performance and travel opportunities. Boys attend weekly rehearsals at the Aronoff Center for the Arts, or virtually as needed for Covid safety, with commitments ranging from six weeks to a full (academic) year. 


Full year students are placed into one of four graduated ensembles based on several criteria including age, music theory level, behavior, attendance and singing ability. Beginning in Fall 2021, we will offer non-auditioned options for singers seeking a lighter commitment.


In addition to weekly rehearsals, workshops, and retreats, the Cincinnati Boychoir presents approximately thirty annual performances in the Greater Cincinnati region, and has performed concerts and completed residencies both at home and abroad.

A placement audition is required to participate.
