Project Title: Cincinnati Youth Choir (CYC) Tuition Assistance Program
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
Founded in 1993, CYC serves children in Greater Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky and Southeastern Indiana. Under the leadership of founder and Managing Artistic Director Robyn Lana, CYC has grown into the largest youth choral program in the Tri-State region, enriching communities by developing young leaders in a safe environment, providing musical excellence to all participants regardless of socio-economic status, background, or musical skill.<\/p>\n
In 2001, CYC became the Ensemble-in-Residence of University of Cincinnati\/College Conservatory of Music (CCM). This relationship enables our five Resident Choirs to rehearse and perform in CCM\u2019s state-of-the-art facilities.<\/p>\n
Children ages 6-18 are divided by age and ability, growing musically and as individuals as they progress through sequential, developmentally appropriate ensembles that follow National Arts Standards for Performing Music. The Resident choirs are Piccolo Coro grades 1-3, Vivace grades 4-7, Con Brio grades 5-9, Bel Canto grades 6-12, Voci grades 9-12 with changing\/changed voices. The program is tuition-based.<\/p>\n
CYC actively promotes new music for children\u2019s choirs, works with renowned composers, conductors and clinicians and has commissioned 93 original compositions. Our Community Engagement programming supports an additional 11 choirs in underserved area schools, eliminating barriers to participation in choral arts education and programming where the opportunity is limited or non-existent.<\/p>\n
In recent years, high inflation and economic turmoil has impacted the ability of many families, regardless of socio-economic status, to provide this opportunity for their children, leading to a considerable increase in requests for tuition assistance or scholarships for participation in the Resident Choirs. Our policy has always been to not turn anyone away from the choirs, but it is now necessary to seek more funding opportunities to maintain our ability to serve all families wanting to provide musical education and excellence for their children.<\/p>\n
We appreciate the opportunity to be considered for submitting a full proposal! <\/p>\n
