About

40 Years Of Creating a Better World Through Song:

The Colorado Springs Children’s Chorale, was founded in 1977 as a civic children’s choir. From humble roots it has grown to be an organization with five choirs and a annual enrollment of nearly 200 children, in grades 2– 12 , from throughout the Pikes Peak Region. The Chorale’s musical excellence has earned it national and international recognition as one of the country’s outstanding children’s choirs, and it has been honored with three first place Gold Medals in international competitions. They have traveled to Japan, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Great Britain, and in 2011 toured in South Africa. In the United States, they have performed at the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C. and at Carnegie Hall in New York City. In 2004, the Children’s Chorale pioneered the Pikes Peak International Music Festival – In Harmony, which has now been hosted in cities around the world. The Festival returned to Colorado Springs in 2010, with nearly 300 young musicians participating in the week-long festival. The Children’s Chorale has been the recipient of the El Pomar Award for Excellence in the Arts and Humanities, and the Mayor’s International Award for International Outreach.

Although the Colorado Springs Children’s Chorale has garnered recognition  and an exceptional array of awards abroad, its heart and spirit is firmly rooted in Colorado and the Colorado Springs community. It features an extensive statewide outreach program, including its High Altitude Youth Chorus, Adopt-a-School Festivals, School Blitz days, Raise the Roof Boychoir Festival, an extensive tuition assistance program, workshops and residencies in schools, and concerts all over the state for groups including Pikes Peak Hospice, Cancer Survivors, CASA, and nursing homes.
