About Us

Who We Are

The Fredericton Kiwanis Youth Choir, a member of the New Brunswick Choral Federation, was formed in 2022 with the mission of nurturing a vibrant choral culture among the youth in Fredericton and the surrounding area.

Accessible and Fair

Musical Growth

Support from our Sponsor

We strive to keep tuition affordable, and scholarships are available. Membership is accessible to every child with the ability and desire to participate, and the musical professionals who work with us are remunerated fairly in accordance with their expertise.
Our choir welcomes singers of all voices (SATB) from grades 4 - 12. Choristers benefit from high quality instruction in musical performance from professionals. We perform diverse repertoire across genres in concerts and community performances each year with weekly 2-hour rehearsals.
We are grateful to be supported by the Fredericton Kiwanis Club as our title sponsor. The Fredericton Kiwanis Club was founded in 1944 and has a long- standing history of supporting children in our region. Find out more at the Fredericton Kiwanis Club website.
