ICVMI Golden Choir Music Education Program is a children's music program affiliated with the International Chamber and Vocal Music Institute. Choir members rehearse every week, grouped by age and skill level, in Kansas City and St Louis City. Our mission is to serve as cultural ambassadors of music, with a particular focus on art songs, Chinese folk songs, Music Theatre, and contemporary compositions, and bilingual speech training. Through a unique educational approach that enriches both music and life, the program aims to instill teamwork, a love for music, and excellence in singing and speech among younger generations. The Classes are instructed in both English and Chinese by instructors from Webster University, University of Missouri at St Louis, the University of Kansas, and the University of Missouri at Kansas City.
