The Hilliard Youth Chorus is a non-auditioned chorus of singers open to all singers in grades 2-6 who want to have fun, make new friends, and sing beautiful music. No prior singing experience is necessary. The goal of the Hilliard Youth Chorus is to help kids develop good singing technique, expose them to new songs and musical styles, and empower them to find their voices through music!

The choir is directed by Meredith Kennedy, and assisted by Samantha Sayar, a music education student from OSU.  Ms. Kennedy has taught vocal music in several K-12 programs in Ohio and Northern Virginia. These positions allowed her to direct children’s choirs and musicals, while inspiring a community of young musicians. Meredith earned her Music Education degree at Capital University, and received a masters degree in education at George Mason University. Ms. Kennedy teaches at Washington Elementary, where she can be found singing, dancing, drumming, playing ukulele, and teaching students how to find joy in making music!

There is an seasonal participation fee of $50 for this choir to defray costs.. Rehearsals are weekly in the fall and spring on Wednesdays from 4:30 to 5:30 PM at the Hilliard Civic and Cultural Arts Center.
