Weekly rehearsals create a safe space to hone musical skills and forge lasting friendships. BCC singers come from over 100 different zip codes in and around Boston, connecting our city’s youth and families through the power of song and artistry.

What is a Placement Session? 

Placement sessions are BCC’s version of auditions, except every singer has a place. This is our chance to get to meet you, hear you sing, and welcome you to the choir! Prepare an excerpt of a song to sing (even Happy Birthday works!), answer a few questions, and tell us why you want to sing at BCC. That’s it! Anyone who auditions have a spot in one of our choirs and finance is never a barrier to participation. Zoom placement sessions are for anyone interested in BCC and are individual. At BCC HQ in South Boston, singers ages 7-11 will audition in groups of up to 15 and singers 12-18 will audition individually. At Zumix in East Boston, singers ages 7-11 will audition individually. For specific times, please click the appropriate signup link above. Sign up today to join the BCC family!
