Dates and Rehearsal Times

The Roanoke Valley Children’s Choir is a full-year 8 month choral program for youth ages 6-18. We have two annual concerts in December and April with different music learned over two semesters. However, the skills taught throughout the year are built upon each other and it is recommended to commit to the entire year of singing in the RVCC to receive the most benefits from the full program.

Semesters are August 28th - December 9th, 2023 & January 8th - April 13, 2024.

Rehearsals are once a week on Mondays at Bethel Baptist Church in Salem, VA.

• Elementary Choirs** (1st-4th Grade) = Mondays 4:30-6:00 PM

• Youth Choir** (5th-8th Grade) = Mondays 5:30-7:00 PM

• Concert Choir (Advanced Auditioned Choir) = Mondays 7:00-9:00 PM
