Welcome to the Elgin Youth Choir (EYC), where we believe music is more than just melodies and harmonies—it’s a way to inspire, educate, and connect young people with the world around them. Through song, we teach essential life skills like teamwork, discipline, and self-expression, helping our singers grow as individuals and as a community.

About Us

The Elgin Youth Choir is dedicated to fostering the next generation of singers and leaders. We offer a welcoming and inclusive environment where young voices are nurtured, and creativity is celebrated. Guided by our motto, “Teaching Life Through Song,” our programs emphasize personal growth, musical excellence, and community engagement.

New in 2025-2026, we have a new home!

We’re excited to announce that the Elgin Youth Choir has found a new home at the Elgin Math and Science Academy! This inspiring partnership allows us to better serve young singers across Elgin and the Fox Valley in a space that fosters creativity, learning, and community. We can’t wait to fill these halls with music!

Choirs

We offer two choirs to meet the needs of our singers:

  • Treble Choir: Designed for beginning singers in grades 2 through 6, the Treble Choir focuses on building foundational music skills and confidence through engaging and fun repertoire.
  • Concert Choir: Open to more experienced singers in grades 7 through 12, this choir provides opportunities to tackle challenging music, participate in special performances, and grow as leaders within the choir.
