GETTING STARTED

Joining SLYC

  • South Loudoun Youth Chorale welcomes singers in grades 1–12, with ensembles designed for different ages, voice types, and musical experiences. Whether your child is just discovering their voice or seeking a more advanced choral experience, there's a place for them at SLYC.

    Explore our ensembles using our Find Your Choir tool.

  • Not necessarily! Our Training Choirs (Spark, Ignite, and Enchant) do not require auditions. Our Performance Choirs (Illuminate, Fortify, and Elevate) use auditions to determine appropriate placement. Visit each ensemble's page for specific requirements and information.

  • Students participating in our Performance Choirs—Illuminate, Fortify, and Elevate—are required to participate in their school's music program. There is no school music participation requirement for our Training Choirs.

  • SLYC rehearses primarily on Monday evenings at Willard Middle School in Aldie, Virginia, with concerts and other performance opportunities throughout the season. Rehearsal schedules and participation expectations vary by ensemble. Visit your singer's choir page for specific details.
