AUDITIONS FOR THE 2025|26 SEASON HAVE CLOSED
Learn more about the audition process on our Audition FAQ page. If you have any questions, please email audition@lachildrenschorus.org.
Singers entering grades 3-8 for the 2025|26 academic year may audition for LACC’s treble ensembles. High school-aged singers with previous experience will be considered on a case-by-case basis, with auditions currently scheduled for Mayo 17. Singers in middle school or high school with changed or changing voices will be considered for the Young Men’s Ensemble. The audition registration deadline was Mayo 23, 2025–however, we audition YME singers on a case-by-case basis throughout the summer.
For singers in grades 1-2, LACC offers non-auditioned First Experiences in Singing (FES) classes and Next Experiences in Singing (NES) classes (which you can still register for).
LACC ofrece a los niños la oportunidad de crecer musicalmente apoyando su desarrollo vocal saludable a través de un programa integral, equilibrado y secuencial. Los niños disfrutan de la experiencia compartida de crear música coral con sus conjuntos; adquieren habilidades musicales; desarrollan sus voces individuales a través de un entrenamiento vocal individual; y construyen la camaradería y el "espíritu del conjunto" con sus compañeros coristas en los retiros y en los ensayos.
LACC also affords its choristers once-in-a-lifetime opportunities to participate in its national and international touring program and experience the stage in collaborative performances with some of the world’s most prestigious companies, such as Los Angeles Opera, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Los Angeles Master Chorale, and the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra. Through LACC’s transformative program, children discover their musical ability and creativity in a supportive environment that nurtures the whole child.
Affording Your Child’s LACC Experience
Los Angeles Children’s Chorus provides a world-class choral music education that is supported through both philanthropy and tuition fees. LACC’s tuition fees cover approximately 55% of the cost of participation, with all choristers automatically receiving subsidized tuition.
In addition to the subsidized tuition rates, all families may apply for need-based financial aid. In the 2024|25 season, 30% of families received tuition financial aid. Financial Aid awards vary from 10-90% tuition awards, depending on need.

SUBSIDIZED TUITION RATES FOR THE 2024|25 SEASON
(note: there will be up to a 3% increase for the 2025|26 season)
WHAT DOES TUITION INCLUDE?
Touring opportunities are offered to choristers in the following ensembles: Intermediate Choir, Concert Choir, Young Men’s Ensemble, Chorale, and Chamber Singers. Fees for Tours are not covered as part of Annual Tuition. For LACC international, domestic, and regional tours, tour fees and payment schedules are determined based on trip destination and dates.
Need-based financial aid is available by application for all Tours. Please note that fees can vary greatly based on each year’s destination, number of participants, and length of tour.
In the 2024|25 the full fees for the Intermediate Tour were $825, with 7% of choristers receiving financial aid.
The full fees for the Concert Choir/Young Men’s Ensemble/Chorale/Chamber Singers tour were $6,100, with 42% of choristers receiving financial aid.
Each LACC ensemble has a required uniform. The cost for the required uniforms is not included in the Annual Tuition and is an additional cost to a chorister’s participation. Most choristers are able to wear the same uniform for a few years, though this can depend on how quickly they grow.
Below, please find the estimated cost of the required uniform by ensemble. Options are available for used items or discounted new items.
