We are delighted that you are interested in joining the Children’s Voices of Southern Maryland! We have three wonderful choirs and are looking forward to extending our program in the near future.
Children and youth are placed in the appropriate choir through low-pressure, fun auditions. Your child will attend weekly rehearsals led by CVSM’s accomplished conductors. Each choir performs throughout the year, in the community and in formal concerts. The Choir's repertoire spans from classical music to jazz, gospel, folk, musical theater, and international music.
Apprentice Choir, ages 4-7, for new vocalists: Rehearsals on Thursdays, 5:00-5:50 PM, at the College of Southern Maryland, CE Building, 8730 Mitchell Rd, La Plata
Concert Choir, ages 8-10, for intermediate vocalists: Rehearsals on Thursdays, 6:00-6:50 PM, at the College of Southern Maryland, CE Building, 8730 Mitchell Rd, La Plata
Chamber Choir, ages 11-15, for advanced vocalists (by audition only). Rehearsals on Thursdays, 7:00-7:50 PM, at the College of Southern Maryland, CE Building, 8730 Mitchell Rd, La Plata
Materials Fee*
Students will need $100/term for supplies. This fee covers music, binder, backpack, t-shirt for performances (only), teaching aids, concert expenses, insurance, rehearsal space, and choir equipment. This fee must be paid along with registration. Your payment of this fee is a sign of commitment from you, allowing your child to participate in CVSM fully.
Family Rate
$200 for 2 or more children. Please register for only TWO children through CSM and complete and submit this registration form to CVMS for all participating children. We need all the children’s names so we can prepare their materials.
* If you would like to discuss an alternative payment plan or request a partial or full scholarship for your child, please contact Ms. Georgia at info@childrensvoicesomd.org with an explanation of your circumstances. It is our desire that every child should have the opportunity to participate in CVSM.
