History of the Bach Chorale Children's Choir
The Bach Chorale Singers, the children's choir's parent organization, is dedicated to providing outreach to singers and audiences in the north-central region of Indiana. The organization's goal is to provide life-long musical training and performance experiences for singers of all ages throughout Tippecanoe and surrounding counties. To help achieve this goal, an educational component was officially added to the organization in June 1996 when the Tippecanoe Youth Chorus merged with BCS, Inc. to form the Bach Chorale Youth Chorus, a traveling performance choir. In June 1999, the Greater Lafayette Children's Choir, serving singers ages 8 to 11, formally merged with Bach Chorale Singers as the Bach Chorale Children's Choir.
Currently, the Bach Chorale Children's Choir performs regularly throughout the greater Lafayette area. It has approximately 60 members varying from children entering second grade through high school.
