Welcome, The
Youth Choir of Central Oregon (YCCO) is a community-based choral program
that provides advanced vocal experiences for talented kindergarten
through twelfth grade students with unchanged singing voices in four
choirs, Tiny Voices, Singers' School, Debut Choir and Premiere
Choir. The
major goal of the YCCO is to provide an opportunity for musical
expression and personal development in a supportive and joyful
environment. Our intent is to supplement the musical training offered in
our area's school music programs and to make the YCCO experience
accessible to young people throughout Central Oregon. The
choir fosters the life-long learning and enjoyment of music. Students
study music reading skills in order to improve choir performance and
personal growth. YCCO performs a variety of choral music appropriate for
treble voice in the tradition of American and European composers, both
secular and sacred. The Debut and Premiere choirs perform in public concerts during the year. The Premiere Choir recently traveled to Hawaii to attend the Pacific Rim Children's Chorus Festival under the direction of Master Conductor Henry Leck. YCCO is a
not-for-profit organization with a current enrollment of more than 125
youth in two choirs and two early training program. Each group
represents a different level of vocal ability. YCCO members range from
kindergarten through twelfth grades and come from Deschutes, Jefferson
and Crook counties. YCCO is a music performance and education program for children and youth, emphasizing the development of musical skills and understanding.
