DCCS choir programs are built with fun and learning at the core of creative music making. Singers of all levels of experience are brought together to rehearse, perform, and showcase their abilities as individuals and groups. Prepare to stretch your musical horizons, improve your singing, meet new friends, and become involved in a strong community of leaders. Singing in a group releases feel-good endorphins and will keep you on the path to a healthy, positive lifestyle. Gain confidence and raise your voice by joining a choir today!
Our choir programs are currently on summer break. We will resume in September in our studio location, at Unit 2, 10217 - 13 Street, right next to City Furniture & Appliances.
Fall Registration begins August 15th
Making music is not a competition... It is not a race to the top... It is a unique chance to work together, feel together, emote together, create together, and more.
Benefits of Choir
Form new friendships by singing with others
Singing in a choir is a team sport! It’s incredibly rewarding to work as a team to create something amazing. Without the pressure of performing solo, you have the ideal scenario to grow and build connections with the people around you. Develop your listening and cooperative skills as you tackle new challenges and reach new heights each week.
Member resources support our singers
Don’t read music? No sweat! All members are provided with materials to help them learn the music for each concert, whether that is by listening to performances online, or having access to customized practice files. Each choir has its own password-protected webpage, where you can access everything you’ll need to have a successful season.
Sing Choir for Hire to give back to our community
All DCCS Choir singers aged 8 and up are encouraged to participate in Choir for Hire, our extracurricular program getting choral music out into the community. At no extra cost, singers of all agers are asked to commit to a few extra practices and performance events. To inquire about having our Choir for Hire group sing at your event, please email our Artistic Director.
Reduce stress levels and improve your health
When you sing in a choir, feelings of connectedness are increased. When you sing in a large group, the bonding that results provides a natural icebreaker and improves our social networks. Our sense of happiness and wellbeing are improved, partly because of the release of positive neurochemicals including dopamine and serotonin. Among the many mental and physical health benefits, choir is beneficial at improving breathing, posture and muscle tension, and immunity. It has also been shown that singing can help those suffering from dementia.
Belonging, respect, and dignity for all singers
At DCCS we believe in inclusivity and providing a welcoming, safe space for all. In choir, one of the key concepts is harmony. Harmony is the wonderous outcome of diverse sounds coming together as one. Harmony requires diversity to exist. Our choirs welcome people of all abilities, gender and orientation, socioeconomic backgrounds, and cultural heritage.
Commitment-free preview classes
Built into all Choral programs is commitment-free preview classes. We know that every potential singer wants to be sure that the program will be a good fit for them, especially before committing money to a full season. Fill out the form below and we’ll set up a time for you to come check out how a choir class happens.
Our Choirs
DCCS has three choir streams. The Bravura Kids’ Choir introduces young children to the joys of choir. We build that sense of connection and harness the joy of singing that children naturally have. We also start to introduce early concepts that build the foundation for reading music, while introducing simple harmonies. With changing voices and interest, kids graduate from Bravura and move into the Vivace Youth Choir. There, they learn to embrace their diverse personalities and interests, while having a supportive team around them. Youth are able to go through their most vulnerable years with choral concepts being reinforced every step of the way. For adults and older teens, the Cantabile Mixed Choir is a diverse group performing a wide range of music that celebrates continuous learning and sense of community.
Please note that as of 2026, we have retired the Piccolo Junior Choir and instead will be offering the Kindermusik Musicians program for ages 5 to 7.
