Gloria Choir 2026/2027 Season
Our choir is truly unique and beautiful. At Ballet Rejoice, we value all art forms and the way each one brings beauty into our world. Through singing, we connect with beauty within ourselves, our community, and the world around us.
What sets our choir apart is its place within the integrated fusion of the Arts at Ballet Rejoice. Singing is woven into our live productions alongside dance and live instrumental music. This commitment to artistic excellence creates a groundbreaking space where singers, dancers and musicians collaborate to bring a dynamic and meaningful fusion of the arts to life, each art form elevating the other! Our choir frequently performs with live instrumental accompaniment, including harp, cello, piano, and more, featuring some of the finest talent in our community.
““Music has the power of producing a certain effect on the moral character of the soul, and if it has the power to do this, it is clear that the young must be directed to music and must be educated in it.””
Each year, our choir performs live in our beloved Nativity production, bringing both traditional and contemporary sacred music to this impactful Christmas experience. In the spring, our choir is featured in full choral productions such as our powerful presentation of Exodus, which has been one of our most moving performances to date, due to its rich integration of singing and dance. We have also had the amazing opportunity to collaborate with other talented ensembles, including choirs from William Jessup University and professional guest artists. We look to grow these collaborations in the future to further elevate the level of artistry into our community while adding more voices to our presentations and love for singing into our community!
This year, our choir is especially excited to be part of the 5th Anniversary of our Nativity production in December, as well as our completely new and original spring production, Risen, which will share the beauty and power of the Easter story through art, music and dance.
Performance Opportunities Include:
The Nativity – December 2–4, 2026
Risen – March 2027
End-of-Year In-Studio Music Recital – May 2027
Gloria Choir Program Expansion
We are thrilled to be expanding our choir program to serve more students than ever before! This year, we will offer both a children’s/youth choir and our beloved teen/adult choir.
Teen / Adult Choir (Ages 10–Adult)
This choir performs sacred and inspiring music throughout the year, participating in our Nativity, Risen, and our end-of-year Candlelight Concert. These singers are the voices that bring beauty and hope to our productions, blending in rich harmony to bring powerful music to life.
Students will grow in community and connection while deepening their appreciation for music and faith. This ensemble offers a meaningful opportunity to develop vocal skills while experiencing the beauty of artistic expression through song.
Gloria Children & Youth Choir (Ages 8–12)
We are excited to bring back our beloved children’s and youth choir!
This group will sing a mix of beautiful music throughout the year. They will perform in our Christmas and our spring production, and will also have the opportunity to be featured as the vocal ensemble in our fall musical theater production of Annie.
Students will explore melody, harmony, and rhythm while learning to blend their voices as one. This program builds foundational vocal skills while introducing a variety of musical styles, helping young singers grow in confidence, creativity, and joy. Whether you’re new to singing, or looking for a way to refine your talent, this choir is a space for your child to grow your love and talent for singing!
““Last night’s performance in particular was a seismic event for ‘dance school’ performances. The level of professional presentation (and training for children of all ages) was incredible.. The element of outstanding voices that the choir added made it essentially impossible to avoid being overwhelmed. Tears everywhere.” ”

How Ballet Rejoice’s Gloria Choir Gives Back
At Ballet Rejoice, we deeply value generosity and fostering meaningful family connections through the arts. From the very beginning, we have been committed to creating opportunities for families to experience music together.
Because of this, we are delighted to continue offering a special opportunity: parents of enrolled singers are invited to sing in our teen/adult choir for free. We believe there is something truly powerful about families lifting their voices together, creating shared memories through music and artistic expression.
Our hope is that this offering allows more families to participate, connect, and experience the joy and beauty of the arts.
