Chattanooga Boys Choir: Your Partner in Music Education
For seventy years, the Chattanooga Boys Choir has worked with area music teachers and chorus programs to offer a variety of student performances, workshops, professional development opportunities, collaborative events, and more to benefit singers and choral music educators throughout the community. The 2025-2026 season includes a variety of special opportunities for music teachers and school programs. We hope that area teachers and directors will take advantage of the opportunities offered this season, including special community sings, our annual tenor-bass workshop, student programs, in-school visits throughout the spring, and special in-school performances for Music in Our Schools Month.
