​We are located in Rio Rancho, but you don’t have to be! The Rio Rancho Youth Chorus is looking for singers of all backgrounds, styles, cultures, orientations, abilities and identities age 12-18 (through high school). No previous chorus experience is required. You just need to love to sing. This is your chance to learn about our program, meet our members and Artistic Director, and see our rehearsal space. Come join the fun!

Harmony of Music, Youth, and Fun!

We have 2 seasons per year – each beginning with an Open House to welcome returning and new members. Our Open Houses are in August (for our Winter Season) and January/February (for our Spring Season). Participants are welcome to bring a prepared audition piece to the audition (please bring music for piano accompaniment), though this is not required. Each season ends with a concert series and we have many other performance opportunities throughout the year.

We rehearse on Saturdays 2p-4p at The ASK Academy 4550 Sundt Rd NE Rio Rancho, NM. Weekly rehearsals at RR-YC begin with warm-ups for two purposes: to physically prepare the chorus members’ voices for singing and to teach vocal technique. After warm-ups, chorus members will spend time working on repertoire for concerts. Chorus members should ALWAYS have their music and a pencil with them, provided by the artistic director throughout each season. Parents are invited to sit in on rehearsals as observers.

Dues are $75 per season which includes 10-15 sessions of two hours for instruction and rehearsal.

June 17, 2019 - Rio Rancho Youth Chorus reunion ends with recording our first music video!  As we came to the end of our 6th year, our 1st two members (who joined at 12 years old) were graduating from high school.  Many of the kids who had been members of the chorus over the years but already graduated and moved on, returned to perform with Iz & KT one last time. 
Thank you Rio Grande Studios and Khalid Naz for recording/producing the video for us.

The video below, a testament in song to the bonds made at RRYC!  Doesn't get any better than that.
