MISSION STATEMENT

The Cabrillo Youth Chorus is an inclusive and welcoming organization founded upon the premise that if there are children, there is song. The mission of Cabrillo Youth Chorus is to educate, develop, and inspire musically talented children of all races, religions, genders, abilities, socio-economic backgrounds and ethnicities to attain the highest possible level of choral artistry.

 

This goal is achieved through excellent teaching with focus upon music literacy, tone development, ear-training, and by working with professional musicians. The repertoire is chosen to fit each choir’s skill level and covers the gamut of repertoire to include established classical works, art songs, songs from the American heritage, and arrangements of folk songs from around the world, incorporating many languages.

"What a wonderful opportunity for these young people to have the composer, (Morten Lauridsen) attend their rehearsals and share his knowledge and love of music with them!"
