Chandler Children's Choir

What Chandler Children's Choir does

Chandler Children's Choir is a 501c3 nonprofit youth choral education organization founded in 2008 by Aimee Stewart and headquartered in Chandler, Arizona. It serves children ages 6 through 18 across the East Valley and Southeast Valley of the Phoenix metropolitan area, delivering weekly ensemble rehearsals, vocal and music-theory instruction, four seasonal concerts per year, and a progressive touring program that culminates in international performances.

The core product portfolio is structured as a tiered ensemble ladder: Junior Choir (ages 7-10, $75/month), Encore Choir (ages 10-13, $90/month), Cantus Choir (grades 8-9, $115/month), Ad Astra Choir (grades 11-12, $125/month), and the newly launched Vox Anima mixed-voice choir (grades 10-12, $115/month). Rehearsals are held at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church in Chandler and Newell Barney Junior High in Queen Creek for the San Tan Children's Choir branch. Ancillary programs include a non-auditioned Prelude Choir for ages 6-8 ($75/session, 6-week introductory format), a Sing City Summer Camp ($125/week), an annual Valley of the Sun Youth Choir Festival ($15/singer) sponsored by SRP and the City of Chandler, and a Hire The Choir service for private, corporate, and charity events across the Phoenix metro area.

Revenue is generated through recurring tuition ($75-$125/month, August-May season), one-time summer camp fees, festival participation fees, performance-hire fees, and tax-deductible donations supporting scholarships and the free Neighborhood Choir Program at Title I schools (Hartford and San Marcos Elementary Schools, 75+ students annually). The organization is governed by its founders and board with no institutional investment, and its scale signals indicate growth from 27 singers in 2008 to over 150 active singers in four ensembles during its 15th season. Technology is not a component of the offering; CCC uses Chorus Connection for member management and standard web/email channels for enrollment and donor relations.
