Ithaca Children & Youth Chorus
CSMA offers an exciting opportunity for young singers to find and develop their musical voice as part of a renowned Ithaca program.
ICYC provides weekly instruction in a supportive environment, allowing each student to grow and practice their musical skills through a culturally diverse repertoire, from traditional to contemporary. Students concentrate on building their music literacy, develop sight-reading, vocal technique, and musical notation skills while gaining self-confidence. Each year, participants share their love of music through several community concerts.
Divided into three different groups by age, the ICYC is accepting new students with no audition necessary. Look below for more details and to sign up!
