The Anderson Area Children’s Choir (AACC) and Anderson Area Youth Chorale (AAYC) are a division of the Indianapolis Children’s Choir. AACC was founded in 1992. The AACC is dedicated to the art of excellent choral singing for singers who reside within Madison County and surrounding counties.

We hope you consider being a part of a wonderful music-making experience!

We have a choir program for every grade and experience level! AACC has programs for singers in kindergarten to grade 12. See below to learn more about our different choirs and schedule your audition (or register for our Preparatory Choir)!
