We rehearse every Thursday evening from 6:45pm – 8:45pm EST, as well as one Saturday a month from 9:30am – 3:00pm EST.

Rehearsals generally start the first week of September and go until the first week of December. We take the month of December off and restart the first week of January and go until the first week of May.

There is also a weeklong Summer camp in August, typically the middle week of the month.

We perform our annual Winter and Spring concerts at Holy Trinity Memorial Lutheran Church, 604 Fourth St., Catasauqua, PA.

We perform run-out concerts around the Lehigh Valley at various locations and for different events. The schedule is different every year depending on the opportunities and collaborations that come to us. There are generally one to three additional commitments each semester, sometimes running into June.

MYC singers are generally in grades 6-12, but fifth graders may audition if they have a strong musical background. Additionally, singers may continue after graduation.

Troubadour is for singers in grades 4-6.

Singers may have changed or unchanged voices, any gender.

Our singers come from across the Greater Lehigh Valley including Bethlehem, Allentown, Center Valley, Saylorsburg, Breinigsville, Catasauqua, Quakertown, Stroudsburg, and Macungie.

Singers interview with our Artistic Director, discussing the singer’s interest in Mosaic Youth Chorus, assessing their musicianship, and hearing them sing.

You’ll sing a simple, well-known song, vocalize to assess range, and do some simple musicianship exercises. Mostly, we want to get to know you!

No prior experience reading music or being in a choir is required, but any musical experience is very helpful!

We seek singers of all abilities, and teach them what they need to know to perform artistically. This includes instruction in vocal technique and musicianship in the context of rehearsal.

We usually travel in the summer, alternating larger and smaller trips. These are concert tours, meaning, we sing a lot on tour.

The repertoire we are singing for the season is related to our tour destination. For example, our 2025 Spring Concert focused on the environment. Our 2025 trip took us to Costa Rica to experience the rainforest there and learn about the ecology of the region.

We travel because we believe that we learn more about the world by singing the music of other cultures, being present in other cultures, and visiting places of historical relevance.

We are a community based not-for-profit organization. Think of us as “sports travel team” but for choir.

We are a welcoming group of young people who want to make a difference in the world through song.

We foster a sense of community and acceptance through our singing, discussing, rehearsing, and performing together.

Our rehearsals are comprehensive — we dive deep into the music, looking at the text, historical context, composition, and vocal technique required to perform.

We are tuition based. Annual tuition is $1,000 for the year, payable in full, by semester (2 payments), or monthly (10 payments).

Tuition includes all rehearsals, our summer camp, music, and access to additional opportunities. It does not include travel or uniforms.

The cost averages out to about $25 per rehearsal session, considerably less than the cost of a private lesson!

We believe every young person should have the opportunity to participate! Scholarships are available for any singer in need!
