YOUTH SINGERS
Consonare Youth Choirs
ABOUT
Consonare Youth Choirs
Consonare Youth Choirs are open to all singers ages 6-14 with no audition that meets in fall, winter, and spring.
Our mission is to create engaging, nurturing, and intergenerational environment for young singers to learn healthy vocal production, understand musical concepts through music literacy instruction, and practice collaborative skills. Our Youth Choirs have the opportunity to learn performance skills through collaborating with our adult ensembles in a culminating concert.
The choirs are separated by ages:
--NOVA is for ages 6-10 (directed by Priyeshni Pereis-Perera)
--HARMONIA is for ages 11-16 (directed by Jolie Edwards)
Our youth choirs rehearse at the same time as our adult choirs (Choir Matrix in Fall/Winter and Consonare Community Choir in Spring). If you have high school aged youth (aged 14+), they are also invited to join the adult choirs if they prefer.
SING WITH US
Rehearsals are Sundays from 3:00-4:30pm*
Storrs Congregational Church (Mansfield)*
To promote inclusion in our Youth Choirs we...
-
offer choral opportunities where all singers are welcome and no audition is necessary
-
strive to offer participation at a low cost for all or no cost for those experiencing financial hardships
-
provide additional music learning resources for new singers to ensure artistic excellence for all
-
divide our choral season into short sessions with the intention of allowing those singers with busy schedules the opportunity to participate​​
​
Tuition per singer is $35 per session (three sessions are offered per year: Fall, Winter, Spring). Singers can participate in one or all of the sessions in any year. Parents are encouraged to join our adult choirs that rehearse at the same time.
