Our Mission
The Central Valley Youth Chorus empowers young singers to discover their spirit of creativity, compassion, and teamwork through the transformative art of choral music.
Our Vision
CVYC instills in young singers a lifelong love for music. We cultivate joy, teach excellence, provide rich musical experiences, and welcome every child to this space as though it is their own. Central Valley Youth Chorus strives to create an inclusive and diverse environment for all children, highlighting the unique power of choral music to bring people together. Through music education and performance opportunities for young people, we are building a more vibrant and united community.
We Believe
Music education and performance opportunities are an integral part of a child’s comprehensive education.
Experience in a choral ensemble helps cultivate character, confidence, respect for the self and others, and a sense of belonging to something larger than oneself.
The quality of life in a community is enhanced when its children are provided a wide variety of opportunities, musical and otherwise.
Music is a multidisciplinary study, and a means for young people to discover many types of knowledge. Music is science, mathematics, history, sociology, language, and more.
A love of music strengthens and enriches the lives of people who possess it, forging lifelong friendships across all strata of society.
Diversity is one of a community’s greatest strengths, and it is crucial to support and affirm young people of all abilities and disabilities, experiences, races, ethnicities, socio-economic backgrounds, sexual orientations, gender identities and expressions, religion or non-religions, and any other categories used to define themselves.
Children are deserving of spaces to call their own; of a place to explore and learn in a safe environment, rich with opportunities, musical and beyond.
Young people are capable, unique, and worthy of respect for their infinite potential.
