Neighborhood Choir Academy

Program description

Host an ICC choir at your school during your existing afterschool program hours!

The ICC will place a temporary Neighborhood Choir Academy ensemble at your school for 6 weeks of rehearsal and performance.

Students rehearse once each week after school and the experience culminates with a joint performance with the Indianapolis Children’s Choir at one of ICC’s large season concerts.

Choir members receive a t-shirt which serves as their uniform for the performance.

Each Neighborhood Choir Academy family receives one free ticket to allow an adult to attend the performance free of charge. Additional tickets can be purchased.

This low-cost experience is the perfect introduction for your school community to the ICC!
