Los Robles Children's Choir
Under the direction of Donna Young, the mission of the Los Robles Children's Choir is to strive for excellence in choral singing by discovering and developing the artistry within each child. As a result of each child's association with the choir, parents can expect him/her to develop:
The children have sung under the direction of the distinguished Sir David Willcocks. The Choir sings for schools and special community events in and around Ventura County.
Presently, Los Robles Children's Choir consists of three choirs. Children entering the program normally begin in the Bel Canto Choir. When the child's musical skills have developed sufficiently, the student may become a member of the Amadeus Choir. The Camerata Youth Choir is a mixed voice choir for high school students. Repertoire is selected according to each choir's level of skill and encompasses a wide range of musical styles. While singing everything from classical works to folk songs, the choirs learn music of various styles and languages. Rehearsals provide instruction in
proper singing technique, music reading, sight-singing, and ear-training.
Los Robles Children's Choir is a non-profit organization funded by individuals, parents, and corporations working in conjunction with the Friends of Los Robles Master Chorale and Moorpark College Community Services.
Weekly rehearsals are held throughout the school year (September-May)at Moorpark College.
