The Oregon Youth Chorale consists of high school students in grades nine through twelve. Members of this choir demonstrate a highly developed degree of vocal ability, sight reading skill and interest in a high level of achievement. This highly-regarded ensemble is made up of students who are active participants in their high schools, including superior academic achievement as well as participation in the fine arts. In the summer of 2003 the Youth Chorale performed to outstanding reviews in St. Nicholas Church in Prague, in St. Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna, Melk Abbey and Salzburg Cathedral.
The Youth Chorale toured France during late June and early July of 2006 Concert venues included St. Sulpice, Notre Dame in Paris, as well as cathedrals and basilicas in Rocomaondour, Gordoun, Canne and Nice.
