Welcome! The St. Louis Children’s Choirs is thrilled to announce the Edwardsville Chorale under the direction of Dr. Alicia Canterbury Vorel, Assistant Professor of Music Education on the campus of Southern Illinois University Edwardsville (SIUE).
Thank you for your interest in The St. Louis Children’s Choirs. Friendly and fun, placement interviews are a great way for us to get to know one another! Placement Interviews consist of your child singing a short song followed by a short informational meeting. Your singer's ensemble placement is based on age, skill, maturity, and availability. We have an ensemble for every singer!
