Welcome to BAYC!


ANNOUNCEMENT: Spring Session Begins March 18th!

February 13, 2026: The Bangor Area Youth Choirs are excited to kick off our Spring Rehearsal Season! We welcome all local singers in grades 3-12 for a fun and energetic 6-week session as we prepare for a dynamic Pops Concert. This season, singers will explore popular hits, Disney favorites, Broadway selections and more, all while building vocal skills, confidence, and friendships. In addition to our culminating performance, singers will also have the opportunity to perform alongside local community choirs in a special collaborative concert experience.

The session wraps up with a relaxed, coffeehouse-style Pops Concert where our young artists take the stage to share an unforgettable evening of music and community.

Come sing with us this spring!

Beginning this past fall (2025), BAYC introduced shorter, program-focused sessions (generally 6–8 weeks each), allowing singers to participate in meaningful musical projects around their increasingly busy school, sports, and family commitments. These project-based programs are designed to better fit the busy lives of young singers while continuing to deliver high-quality choral and performance experiences. Each session will culminate in a performance or special event, providing unique opportunities for students to connect through music and performance.

An Informational Meeting and First Rehearsal will be held on:

📅 Wednesday, March 18th

🕓 4:30–5:30 PM

📍 Norman Minsky Lecture Hall, Bangor Public Library

This kickoff session will give singers and parents the chance to learn more about the new session-based format, meet fellow choir members, and make music together once again. BAYC welcomes all area youth in grades 3–12 to participate.

New singers are encouraged to attend the first rehearsal to learn more and see what the choir is all about. Please fill out this registration form to register or to ask for more info!


About:
The Bangor Area Youth Choirs, with over 30 years of Helping Youth Discover Their Voice, is a non-profit youth choir organization, drawing youth from towns all around the Bangor Region. BAYC seeks to provide area youth with a high-level choral experience coupled with an inclusive community of thoughtful, talented, creative young people that share a common love of singing. BAYC follows the organizational guidelines of most established children’s choirs and is not affiliated with any church, public or private school. BAYC is composed of young singers aged 8 (or 7 if approved by the Artistic Director) -18 (or in High School).

BAYC is designed to be a long-term activity and experience that grows and deepens throughout the years of the singer’s involvement. For 30 years the staff and board of BAYC have worked hard to have our organization be one that gradually and consistently builds musical expertise, character, poise, sensitivity and understanding of other cultures and eras, friendships with singers from a wide variety of backgrounds and locales, and leadership skills.
