Join the H+H Youth Choruses

Thank you for your interest in singing with the H+H Youth Choruses! We are welcoming new singers into all ensembles for the 2023-24 Season. Many of our choirs don't require an audition to join - just register and we'll arrange a voice placement with your conductor. The voice placement is an opportunity to get to know you as a musician and be sure that you've selected the best ensemble for you! Singers who are interested in singing with the Concert Choir or Chamber Choir should refer to the audition requirements for these ensembles, outlined below.

Want to experience a rehearsal first? Simply fill out the HHYC interest form and we'll follow-up to schedule your visit.
