ABOUT US: The Inland Valley Youth Chorale is a registered non-profit 501(c)3 organization. It began as the Claremont Children's Chorale, founded in October of 2002. The Claremont Youth Chorale was then added in the 2005 school year in order to provide an ongoing choral experience for the singers graduating from the Children's Chorale. The IVYC was incorporated with its new name in 2006. The IVYC consists of members of the community. Its choristers are not only from Claremont but from all over the Inland Empire; San Dimas, Chino, Chino Hills, La Verne, Pomona, Upland, Montclair, and Alta Loma. The IVYC includes a preparatory choir, an apprentice choir, a chamber choir, music classes for young children, and youth voice classes. Current programming includes solo and joint performances between the IVYC chorales and other guest organizations. Choral membership is through an audition process.
