Discover Your Voice in the WorlD

Join a Choir: Fall Repertoire Begins August 25, 2026

Join a choir in Children’s Choir of Chico to learn to read and write music, sing in varied languages, and learn songs from many genres, including great art music, Broadway tunes, spirituals, patriotic songs, traditional songs, and folk music from around the world.  Medieval to modern, Bach to Gershwin – you‘ll experience it through the Children’s Choir of Chico!

Training Division

The Training Division includes beginning music fundamentals and choir experiences for children in TK through 3rd Grade.  The active classes and rehearsals of Ready, Set, Sing and the Preparatory Choir will have your child singing and moving to music at the end of the first rehearsal!

Performance Division

A more formal choir experience is offered through the Performance Division for singers in grades 4 through high school (unchanged voices), and adult women in college through retirement. In July 2026 Bel Canto (8th grade through high school) collaborated with some members of Bella Voce (women) and local community singers to undertake a concert tour to France. 

Performances for singers in Cantiamo (grades 4-8) and Bel Canto (grades 8-12) include singing along with the local hit cover band, Decades, at Children’s Choir of Chico’s annnual gala fundraiser, and as guest choirs for various local organizations and events, including the DCBA’s Christmas Preview, the Enloe Holiday Tree Lighting, DCBA’s Christmas Tree Lighting in the City Plaza, and the CSUC’s Glorious Sounds of the Season, a Chico State Music Department scholarship fundraising performance. All choirs perform a minimum of three CCOC Concerts each season.

Children’s Choir of Chico was formed in 2001 by Artistic Director Susan Tevis to unite the purity of children’s voices with excellence of choral music education and artistic performance. Guided by Tevis, an active clinician and guest conductor of treble choirs throughout the United States, the original choir has expanded to five choirs, including music experiences for early childhood and adult women.  Experience and training are not necessary for any of the choirs, except Bel Canto.  For information on individual choirs and rehearsal times, or to schedule an interview for Bel Canto,  please contact us at 530-385-8714 or ccoc@childrenschoirofchico.org.
