About

Voce

BYC is building a new flagship ensemble to represent the organization. Members of this ensemble are expected to have musical experience and be comfortable reading music. This group will work on 4+ part harmonies, focus on healthy vocal technique, and will demonstrate refined choral techniques and singing. This ensemble will support younger choristers in combined pieces for our Mainstage concerts, and learn additional repertoire to perform in the community and on tours. Because this group supports the organization as a whole, tuition is significantly lower and subsidized by the organization.

Withdrawal Policy

In the event a chorister must withdraw from the group, BYC does not offer refunds for registration fees.

BYC has open enrollment until the end of September and again in the month of January. Our cancellation policy is centered around those dates, our Mainstage concerts, and being able to fill vacancies. Many of our younger choirs are at capacity.

When students join and suddenly drop mid-season, it negatively impacts the entire class and prevents an interested potential chorister from joining us. Think of it like signing up for a semester activity (with the exception of Prelude (September – January.)
