Here are a few quotes from singers and choir families past and current:
City Singers is such a wonderful choral program. The commitment to be a welcoming place for singers of all kinds is lived out and the singers flourish because of it. There's room for everyone to grow as singers together and the instruction ... is top-notch, and they model wonderful singing technique, along with humanity and kindness.

We've participated in Caroling Choir, and I was so impressed by how my young children learned difficult and impressive songs. They had fun while doing it, too! We've loved participating in Caroling Choir, and we're excited to officially join!

No matter the school day and how it might have been tiring, my child comes home from CSYC with energy from singing, and enjoys the friends in the choir as a community.

City Singers is a rare opportunity for kids to learn about other cultures in a way which lets them participate and have fun freely. I felt like I could forget about the divisions and problems between cultures while I was in CSYC. It’s what took music from something I was good at to something I truly loved.

I love that my kids get to be around musicians who love what they're doing. I like that the music is universally appealing and is curated for children's voices and specific parts that work for them.

My children sing CONSTANTLY, and once they started with City Singers, their singing has improved tremendously and become a much more frequent part of life. As a music educator myself, I love knowing that they are getting expert teaching, from people who truly understand their developing vocal mechanism.

Ten years ago I had a daughter who wanted to sing. She wanted to sing much more often than the one day each week she got to at our public school. I went looking for a quality program that was inclusive and would take the time to give her a complete, well-grounded choral education. I found those things and more with City Singers. She was with the choir for 9 years before she graduated and went on to accept a music scholarship to college. I doubt that she could have achieved as much as she has without the support, training, education and opportunities she found through City Singers. Three years ago, I agreed to serve on the board of directors. I love it that our directors are always challenging themselves and their students to come up with new ways to expand their creativity and talent.
