Come​ ​and​ ​sing​
​with​ ​YCT​ ​today
Youth Choral Theater of
Chicago (YCT) is a youth
choir that has had its roots
in Chicago’s North Shore
for over 30 years. YCT is
focused on bringing topnotch
musical training to all
students seeking musical
education, no matter their
economic background.
Since our beginning, we
have done just that.
YCT stands out from
other youth choirs through
our training process that
is deeply rooted in music
education. Through our
four different ensembles,
involving students ages
3-18, we train students in a
continuous way that helps
them advance through
our ensembles with ease
while developing their
musical skills. We accept
students going through a
voice change, which not
all youth choirs in the area
do, because we believe
that a well rounded choir
includes all voice types.
Another thing that sets
YCT apart is our adventurous
musical selections.
Through commissions and
collaborations with local
composers, YCT performs
pieces that are not only
challenging to sing, but
also expand the musical
horizons of our singers.
Last year, all YCT ensembles
sang songs in Korean,
Polynesian, Swahili, and
Spanish. Our music addressed
issues of discrimination,
pride, courage,
fear, love, hope, and exploration.
We believe that
it is not only important to
push our students musically,
but also emotionally,
helping them to develop
empathy inspired by what
they are singing.
The YCT season schedule
works hard to eliminate
conflicts with school schedules
in the area. Classes
begin in early September
and end in May with breaks
throughout, including
Thanksgiving break, December
holiday break, and
spring break. Throughout
the season, YCT ensembles
have 5-6 concerts. Four
of these concerts include
all YCT ensembles while
the remaining concerts are
“professional concerts,” for
our older students.
YCT has four ensembles
for students, each with its
own age range, rehearsal,
and concert schedule. Winnetka​
​Children’s​ ​Chorus​
is comprised of students
grades preK (up to 3 years
old) through first-grade
and they rehearse from
4:30-5:30 p.m. Mondays
at the Winnetka Covenant
Church.
Concertina​is comprised
of students grades 2-3 and
rehearses from 5:30-6:30
p.m. Mondays at the Winnetka
Covenant Church.
The Winnetka Covenant
Church is located at 1200
Hibbard
Road, Wilmette. These
two ensembles perform in
the four season concerts
that all YCT ensembles are
included in.
Treble​ ​Ensemble​ ​is comprised
of students grades
4-6 and rehearses from 3-4
p.m. Sundays at Trinity
United Methodist Church.
Chamber​ ​Chorale​ is comprised
of students grades
7-12 and rehearses on 4-6
p.m. Sundays at Trinity
United Methodist Church.
TUMC is located at 1024
Lake St., Wilmette. These
two ensembles perform on
all concerts throughout the
YCT season.
