The Keystone State Boychoir serves more than 170 boys, ages 7-18, providing opportunities to rehearse, learn, sing, move, perform, act, and make joyful, moving, brilliant music in groups ranging from the youngest beginning singers in the Trainers and Apprentices up to the musically advanced Chamber Choir of high school changed voices. With large group rehearsals on Saturdays in Germantown, and smaller rehearsals on Sundays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays; the choir encourages the boys' involvement in the music and sports groups of their communities. Through KSB, the boys also gain access to elite performance opportunities, both in their choir guise but also with the Opera Company of Philadelphia, and even on Broadway in New York City! The Keystone State Boychoir has also toured and sung on all seven continents, giving the boys the life-changing experience of home-stays with choirs around the world, and singing everywhere from opera houses to cathedrals to street fairs. While I am a volunteer, I have two boys whose tenure in the choir adds up to a total of eleven years (and still singing!) I can't overstate how much the presence of music has meant in their lives, and especially in the way that the directors encourage movement and "performing" the music with the body as well as the voice. They are fun to hear, fun to watch, and fun to be with.
