Chattanooga Boys Choir

Mission: To positively influence and develop the lives of boys by providing a music program of the highest quality which includes education, appreciation, and performance.

We believe that the lives of all people are enriched and strengthened by a love of music. The quality of life in our community is enhanced when there is a wide variety of opportunity for participation in musical activities and other artistic pursuits. Beyond its deep commitment to quality music education, the CBC experience builds a boy’s character as well as his talent. All of our choirs reflect an instructional approach designed to nurture self-esteem, leadership, independence, discipline, and responsibility, as well as a life-long love of music.

CBC is a diverse group of over 120 boys aged 8 through senior in high school from more than forty public, private, home, and parochial schools. Auditions are held each spring for boys in grade 2 or above. The CBC program consists of four levels: Mozart, Schubert, Handel, and Concert. A fifth ensemble, Cantabile, exists for boys after voice change. Factors considered when evaluating boys for placement are age, maturity level, quality of singing voice, degree of self discipline, demonstrated interest in music, and personal behavior.
