Childrens Chorus

Based in Oakland, CA

Founded in 1974, the Oakland Youth Chorus (OYC) is the oldest and longest running youth chorus in the East Bay. OYC provides a multicultural music education and performance program for youth, fostering talent, confidence and community. Our mission focuses on creating and sustaining programs of high artistic merit that are accessible to and supportive of children and youth who might otherwise not be able to experience the joy of making music with others.

Founded - 1974.   Auditioned.

Audition Policy - Musical/choral experience is helpful, but not mandatory- we're eager to bring choral music to any young people who show an aptitude and a strong interest! There is no tuition charge, although there are certain fees collected for administrative costs, retreats and tours.
