​Why Choose the Pittsburgh Boy Choir?

While other choral organizations for youth exist in Pittsburgh, the Pittsburgh Boy Choir is the only one that exists exclusively for boys.  The tradition of the boy choir dates back to the earliest periods of musical composition, and some of the greatest choral music ever written was composed for boy choirs.  Research shows that children who participate in musical organizations like the Pittsburgh Boy Choir generally perform at a higher level academically than their non-musical peers.

The Pittsburgh Boy Choir develops skills that will be useful throughout life:  personal responsibility, self-management, team interaction, poise, confidence, stage presence, and concert etiquette.

A Message from the Artistic Director 
​
​​
​Welcome to the Pittsburgh Boy Choir, a distinctive choral music program for boys in the Pittsburgh area.  We are launching our 2017-2018 season, and we are truly excited! 

This year we’ll be adding our third tier of singers, catering to boys with changing or changed voices.  Our groups will be divided into three levels based on age and experience. Da Capo (our preparatory choir), Cantabile (our middle choir) and Bravo (our most advanced choir) are each led by separate directors.  Our goal is to provide the best possible learning environment for all of our boys, regardless of their age or vocal maturity.  By any measure, the results have been remarkable!
​
We know that boys love to sing, will rise to the challenges of high standards, and thrive on the camaraderie of other boys.  The Pittsburgh Boy Choir is a community designed to allow boys to grow, mature, and develop through a variety of musical opportunities.  As with many things in life, music is enjoyed the most when it’s experienced with others.  We hope you’ll visit our website and consider joining the Pittsburgh Boy Choir.
