2007 Christmas Commercial
The Canterbury Youth Choruses (CYC) are under the guidance and artistic direction of Canterbury Choral Society. Its mission: … "to maintain and promote a community chorus which will present regular performances of choral music; to train, coach, and educate vocalists; and to foster the appreciation and preservation of the art of choral performance throughout the State of Oklahoma and the Nation."
CYC offers vocal music training, education and performance experience to students who have a love for singing and may find themselves without an outlet to pursue their passion for music. It serves as an enhancement for public, private and home schooled students in grades 2-8. It is also a preparatory program for future advanced music education.
CYC has two choirs: the Apprentice Choir and the Chorale. Its choirs have sung for a variety of audiences and special occasions including the Organization of American Kodaly Educators National Conference, the Oklahoma Music Educators Association State Convention, the State Capital Dome Dedication, The 100th Anniversary of the Overholser Mansion and the OSSO Mark Harmon Celebrity Baseball game benefitting The Children's Center in Bethany.

Educational Programs
Canterbury is community and as such we are exploring the educational opportunities Canterbury can provide to the schools around us. We have several programs in development at this time. Contact our office at 232-SING for information on any of the programs you see listed.
Future programs:
In partnership with many area organizations, we are developing several programs to bring music back to schools. Quartets á la carte, interactive character operettas with supporting curriculum and docents for schools are just a few of the opportunities we are exploring to pair up the music community and education.
