About Us

Mission

The Treble Chorus of New England is a youth choral program founded in 1975. Our mission is to educate children, ages 6-18, in developing an understanding for and a love of classical music, to provide exceptional choral training and to offer choral concerts that benefit diverse audiences in Massachusetts and communities throughout the world.

Our classes are designed to teach children to sing in tune, perform great classic and contemporary music, to build confidence and stage presence, and teach music theory and skills.

Children receive high quality music training and perform concerts that benefit diverse audiences through the region and worldwide. This highly-acclaimed choir has appeared with many opera companies, choral societies, and symphony orchestras. They have garnered standing ovations and rave reviews in England, Canada, and Germany. They concluded their 25th Anniversary season with joint concerts with the Mississippi Girlchoir under the baton of the distinguished conductor and composer, Sir David Willcocks at Old South Church in Boston.

In keeping with its goal of educating and generating new audiences in classical music, the Treble Chorus presents two educational concerts annually at Merrimack College. The success of these performances is a tribute to the enthusiasm and talents of the 100-plus members of the choir as children sing for children.

Now in its seventh season, the Men's Choir of New England led by Assistant Director Heather Chu offers music education to an expanded audience. The Men's Choir offers a unique choral experience to men and boys with changed voices.

All rehearsals are held at West Parish Church in Andover, Massachusetts.

Performing an ambitious season of concerts, the choir has been recognized by the Massachusetts Cultural Council as "a music leader, enriching the cultural life of the Commonwealth."
