CONCENTIO GIVES GIRLS OF ALL CULTURAL, GEOGRAPHIC, AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC BACKGROUNDS THE OPPORTUNITY TO SING IN THE COMMUNITY. THE ENSEMBLE IS AN UNCOMPETITIVE MUSICAL ENVIRONMENT, WHERE GIRLS LEARN TO USE MUSIC AS A POSITIVE EMOTIONAL OUTLET AND WORK TOGETHER IN A SPIRIT OF MUTUAL RESPECT AND ENCOURAGEMENT. CONCENTIO DOES NOT HAVE A COMPETITIVE OR SELECTIVE AUDITION PROCESS; ALL GIRLS ARE TAUGHT MUSCIAL SKILLS AND ARE MENTORED TO MAKE THEIR BEST CONTRIBUTION. THE ENSEMBLE IS ALSO A CLIQUE-FREE ENVIRONMENT, WHERE THE UNIQUE CONTRIBUTION OF EVERY GIRLS IS VALUED AND WHERE HEALTHY FRIENDSHIPS ARE FOSTERED.

CHOIR MEMBERS DEVELOP MUSICAL SKILLS THROUGH AGE-APPROPRIATE REPERTOIRE, MUSICAL GAMES, AND EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES THAT STRETCH THE YOUNG SINGER. DUE TO RECRUITING EFFORTS IN UNDERSERVED NEIGHBORHOODS, THESE TWO CHOIRS ARE HIGHLY RICH AND DIVERSE. MEMBERS GRADUATE THROUGH THE PROGRAM AND MAY EVENTUALLY MOVE TO CONCENTIO.

VIA IS A TRANSITIONAL CHOIR FROM THE TRAINING CHOIR PROGRAM TO CONCENTIO. GIRLS CONTINUE TO DEVELOP PART SINGING SKILLS AND MUSICAL LITERACY.
