Contemporary Children's Choir

The Contemporary Children's Choir of McHenry County consists of four choirs, Cantate, Chamber, Chorale, Concert and Treble Choir. These choirs provide a program of sequentially developed skills which cultivate excellence in musicianship, character and leadership. The Choir was formed in 1994 as an outreach of the McHenry County Youth Orchestra and Community Arts Center. We are in our tenth season and are one of many programs offered by the McHenry County Music Center.

 

               MISSION STATEMENT

 

    All Children will find singing in this wonderful choir an enjoyable experience and   will   develop a love of singing choral music of the highest artistic standards.
