The Hunterdon Youth Choir has performed statewide in youth festivals, community concerts, and benefits for local charities for more than 10 years.

The Hunterdon Youth Choir has grown over the years, and now comprises three distinct sections to accommodate choristers of different age groups and skill levels:

Training Choir:   This choir is for students in grades 1, 2 and 3. No auditions are required. Rehearsals are held once a week for 45 minutes during the school year.

Advanced Choir:   This choir is for students in grades 4 - 6. Auditions
are scheduled in the spring for the following September school year. Rehearsals are held once a week for 1 hour during the school year

Chamber Choir:   Chamber choir, grades 7 and up, is a select group
of older more experienced students. Rehearsals are held once a week
for 45 minutes during the school year. An audition is required for new members.

The goal for each Choir is to:

• Focus on developing the voice
• Provide ensemble experience
• Introduce classical and contemporary choral literature
• Understand proper vocal technique, diction and vocal production
• Gain experience in part singing, sight singing and musical interpretation
• Provide various performance opportunities with other children's choirs, as well as, regional orchestras
