Youth Choir is in season
through Summer '24!
Our church’s Youth Choir is a tuition– and audition-free church and community choir offered by the First Presbyterian Church of Ithaca. Choral singing is good for children and youth, and one of the best ways to grow faith. It builds self-confidence, fills singers with dignity and self-esteem, involves teamwork and community, supports math, English, and foreign language skills, requires self-discipline, and is an excellent brain-builder. It’s GREAT for us! Any child who is able will be welcome to participate. If a child isn’t sure, parents can come with them for a while to see how it goes. We intend to have high standards for behavior and respect, but we welcome everyone to our choir.
Rehearsals are held Sundays from 11:20-12:15 in the Choir Room on the lower level of the church.

About the Director:
Kirianne E. Weaver grew up singing in children’s choirs under the direction of her mother, flutist Marianne Weaver, and father, organist Dr. John Weaver, at the Madison Avenue Presbyterian Church. She also sang for seven years with the Metropolitan Opera and New York City Opera Children’s Choruses, with whom she also toured several shows, and has performed with the Village Light Opera Company of New York. In graduate school she was a member of Princeton Theological Seminary’s Touring Choir, and was director of performing arts at the Elizabeth Moir International School in Colombo, Sri Lanka. Kirianne is very excited about adding to her pastoral work by working with the children of the church and reaching out to the community with this program!
