Concert Chorus members must be in at least 6th grade and can be as old as 8th grade. Children are eligible to graduate from Concert Chorus to Chamber Singers when they enter 9th grade, or when a boy’s voice is in transition, and when the staff is confident that the child is ready. We are committed to setting our singers up for success. If your singer isn’t ready for the rigor or difficulty of Chamber Singers, we will advise that they continue their membership in Concert Chorus until they are ready to move up.

The Concert Chorus program is a full-year program beginning in late August and ending in May.

Rehearsals occur Tuesday evenings from 6:00-8:30 PM at the Y Arts Building in downtown Frederick: 115 E Church St, Frederick, MD 21701

The time is split between choral rehearsal and a musicianship class.

Tuition is just $100/month after a $50 registration fee.

Scholarship or financial assistance is available!

If a family has a more than one child in a semester-length program, a family discount will be applied as a credit on the account. Family discounts are not applied to drop-in classes or registration fees.

The repertoire chosen for the chorus provides a platform for singing in diverse languages and delving into musical styles from a wide array of cultures and historical periods. The difficulty level of the music is thoughtfully matched to the singers’ age and maturity. Additionally, the content of the lyrics is given meticulous consideration.

Through the medium of song, students are afforded the chance to deeply engage with poetry, philosophy, human emotions, and concepts of nationalism. Furthermore, songs featuring religious texts enable singers to explore ideologies beyond their own, always with the clear understanding that the inclusion of religious music does not imply an endorsement of any particular faith or ideology. All musical selections are studied purely for the sake of music itself.

Yes, we do! We believe every child should have the opportunity to experience the joy of singing and offer financial aid and scholarships. If you're interested in applying or need more information, please contact us at info@fredcc.org to request a financial aid application.
