The Children’s and Youth Choirs were a long time interest of William (Bill) Lange from Cherry Valley who sang with and served the Catskill Choral Society in a number of capacities.

 

 

He felt that there were a number of children and youths in the area who would enjoy the experience of singing and performing in a non-school setting with others who shared their interest.

About the Youth and Children’s Choirs…

More than twenty years ago the Choral Society established a Girl’s choir and subsequently a Boy’s choir as a way to expand the musical options for grade school girls and boys. The two groups were merged and now the program serves two age groups:

 

• The younger singers of the Children’s Choir, ages 6-10, learn how to work and sing in a group, learn basic music terms, and the “do, re, mi’s” of solfege and ear training.
• The Youth Choir, ages 11-15, builds upon the basics by learning more challenging three-part singing.

Both groups work on a variety of music in other languages and perform in each of the Society’s two major concerts.

Both groups are under the direction of Cynthia Donaldson, well known in the area as a performer, teacher and director.
