Inspiring youth to musical excellence and artistic expression in a nurturing environment—cultivating integrity, professionalism, and leadership.

The Colorado Springs Children’s Chorale is now in its 45th season of providing excellence in choral music performance and music education throughout the Pikes Peak region. Founded in 1977 as a civic children’s choir, the Colorado Springs Children’s Chorale has grown from one choir of 25 children to four choirs in Colorado Springs, and performing arts classes for the youngest performers. Children’s Chorale members have sung with symphonies, chamber orchestras, and adult choirs, as well as other children’s choirs from all over the world. The Chorale’s musical excellence has earned them national recognition as one of the country’s outstanding children’s choirs and first place awards from numerous international choir festivals. In the United States, the choirs of the Children’s Chorale have been honored as guest performers at the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C. and at Carnegie Hall in New York City. The Colorado Springs Children’s Chorale has received the El Pomar Award for Excellence in the Arts and Hu-manities for the state of Colorado, the Mayor’s International Award for International Outreach, and has been honored with several awards from the Pikes Peak Arts Council. 

Although the Colorado Springs Children’s Chorale has garnered an exceptional array of awards and recognitions abroad, its heart and spirit is firmly rooted in Colorado and the Pikes Peak region. A main focus is its outreach program, including the Southern Colorado In Harmony Festival, Adopt-a-District programs, School Blitz days, Sing! Raise the Roof All-City Boy Choir Festival, the Generations Initiative, an extensive tuition assistance program, workshops in schools, and concerts all over the state. 

The Children’s Chorale is known for their musical excellence, but perhaps more importantly they are known for the wonderful young people involved in the organization who are polite, considerate, confident ambassadors of the human spirit.
