Crystal Youth Choir - USA
Crystal Choir was founded in the San Francisco Bay Area in 1994. Choir members rehearse every week with their respective ages and skill levels in three Bay Area cities – Cupertino, Fremont, and San Jose.
The Crystal Youth Choir is a mix of 8th-10th grades students. We aspire to be cultural ambassadors of choral music, especially in the field of Chinese folk songs and newly commissioned works. Through a unique musical and life-enhancing education offering to its choristers, Crystal Choir hopes to nurture teamwork, love of music, and excellence in choral singing among younger generations.
