Houston Children’s Chorus holds auditions for new singers for 2024-2025 season | Form an ocean to another

Houston’s first auditioned children’s choir will hold auditions this summer for new members. Students entering grades 2-8 are encouraged to register for the chance to join this unique group of talented young people. There are no auditions for children in classes 2 and 3 to participate in the preparatory choir. The concert choir includes boys and girls in grades 4-8 and requires an audition. Interested families should visit the Chorus website: www.houstonchildren.org for audition information.

The Houston Children’s Chorus exists to musically enrich the lives of the children, families and community it serves. Its mission is to teach children to achieve multicultural understanding through choral singing and performance. An equally important goal is to nurture and develop discipline, responsibility, teamwork, self-confidence, self-control and character building – all qualities that help children succeed in life .

Little ambassadors of Houston around the world, the Chorus will celebrate its 35th season this year. More than 7,000 children have participated in Chorus activities since its inception in 1989. This incredible group represents every ethnic and socioeconomic group in the Greater Houston area. The Choir regularly participates in civic and cultural ceremonies in the City of Houston and the State of Texas and has performed 33 times for the President of the United States. The children have represented Houston around the world on numerous international concert tours. Praised for its versatility, the Chorus performs many different musical genres, from Bach to Motown. The energy and contagious charm exuded by the children endeared them to audiences in Houston and beyond. The children will perform at Carnegie Hall in New York in June 2025.

Some notable memories of the Chorus include: singing with the Houston Symphony on several occasions, recording a commercial for Blue Bell Ice Cream, performing with Josh Groban during the opening ceremonies of Super Bowl XXXVIII, performing with Celine Dion at the Compaq Center, performing for the 1990 World Economic Summit, performing with Maureen McGovern and Tommy Tune for the Hobby Center Opening Gala, Christmas carols with Astros World Series MVP – George Springer, singing on the Thanksgiving parade floats, helping the Santa lighting the Christmas trees at City Hall and singing the National Anthem at the Houston Rodeo and for the Texans, Rockets and Astros. Every year it’s something new!
