In 2018, Angel City Chorale created the Angel City Youth Chorale (ACYC) in partnership with Boys & Girls Clubs around Los Angeles. As the program continues to evolve, we now work with Boys & Girls Clubs and local schools on weekdays, with Performance Choir sessions held on Saturdays. All of our programs are offered at no cost, and include basic elements of music theory, choral singing skills, singing with movement, performance technique, and more. We challenge our choristers to develop the creative, technical and intellectual skills to become stewards of the transformative powers of music in their communities and beyond.
Interested in joining ACYC? Enrollment will open again after our concerts this December!
