Welcome to 40 Years of Youth Singers of Calgary
This year marks a major milestone for Youth Singers of Calgary: 40 years of empowering young voices, building confidence, and celebrating the magic of performing arts. From our beginnings as a small choir in 1985 to becoming one of Calgary’s most dynamic arts organizations, we’re proud to have grown alongside our vibrant community.
But our 40th anniversary isn’t just about looking back. It’s about the future we’re creating together.

Whether you’re a returning performer, a parent looking for an inspiring program for your child, or someone ready to step onto the stage for the first time, we invite you to be part of this special year.
From preschoolers to adults, we offer programs for every age and experience level. And for those who register before June 22, you can lock in current tuition rates before prices increase.

Our Values in Action
As we plan our 40th anniversary season, we are guided by the core values that shape everything we do:
Excellence
We provide an environment where the freedom to strive, fail, try, and persist leads to the fulfillment of each singer’s highest potential. Our experienced and credentialed staff bring a strong foundation of music education and professional teaching standards to every program.
Inclusion
Every voice is worthy and valuable. We offer a welcoming space where children and youth, no matter their skill or experience level, can grow and thrive. Our commitment is to create a culture of belonging, safety, and acceptance.
Performing
Through performance opportunities, our singers develop resilience, confidence, and a willingness to take creative risks. We value the artistic journey and prioritize the well-being and growth of our performers every step of the way.
Community
YSC is a family. From performers to parents, volunteers to staff, we come together with respect and joy, united by a shared purpose. We also empower our singers to become leaders who contribute to our city and beyond.
Collaboration
Artistic expression flourishes when we create together. By fostering partnerships within our divisions and with Calgary’s artistic community, we expand what’s possible and deepen our collective creativity.
Be Part of Our Story
Whether you’re stepping onto the stage, cheering from the audience, or supporting our programs, your role in our community matters.
This year, let’s celebrate the voices that have shaped our story — and the ones still to come.
