Puget Sound’s Premier Choir For Young Singers
The Northwest Boychoir’s musical sophistication, rich tonal quality, dedication to exacting perfection, and extensive performance schedule have established its reputation as one of the nation’s premier children's choirs. Its 150 members, ages 6-13, represent 115 diverse public and private schools in King County. For nearly 40 years, the Northwest Choirs has trained thousands of young singers and more significantly, shaped the lives of its members by teaching important lessons in personal commitment, and the value of teamwork and diligence.
Led by Joseph Crnko, now in his 29th year as music director, the Choir’s staff of professional musicians and educators are engaged in the teaching of a rigorous curriculum that trains young singers to be fully-skilled musicians who sing at the highest professional level, read music fluently and perform in professional settings with confidence.
Auditions for new members are held twice a year in June and February. Our next auditions, for boys ages 6-9 years of age will be June 1, 2013 for September enrollment. Boys should be entering first-fourth grades in the fall. No prior musical training is required. Read more about our audition process or contact us to schedule an audition appointment.

What They Are Saying
-
“These experiences that Danny is getting from choir are life-changing. He felt so important and so proud being up on stage."
-
“Working with the Northwest Boychoir was a great experience. When those boys were added in that night – it just changed the entire piece for me. I was in awe of their sound. Clearly, for me, this score would have not been as strong without them.”
-
“My son is very fortunate to have the opportunity to participate in the Northwest Boychoir. His sense of self has grown, and he has immense pride to be part of something so powerful.”
-
“The education Northwest Choirs provides goes beyond the mechanics of learning music theory and its application. They learn the significance and background of the pieces they perform, which is important from historical preservation and cultural perspectives. They also learn discipline, teamwork, and perseverance...and developing these important life skills is a phenomenal experience.”

“Nothing beats watching the transition in your child from singing, Wheels on the Bus to performing at Benaroya Hall.”
