The House of Hope Choir School

The House of Hope Choir School is one of the area's finest and most unique children's and youth choir programs. Open to all boys and girls of the entire Twin Cities community regardless of religious affiliation, the Choir School offers students of all ages, levels of musical experience, and walks of life an exceptional opportunity to sing, learn, and dine together in an engaging atmosphere that encourages excellence, character development, and spiritual growth. Previous musical experience is not required, nor is there an audition; the only requirements for participation are a desire to learn and the ability to keep a commitment.

The choir school has recorded and toured regionally, to Puerto Rico, Denmark and England. In June 2008, the choir succesfully toured Neuss and Colgne Germany.
