Lumina Youth Choirs
offers passionate
young singers the
opportunity to explore
and experience
the power of music
in their lives. Lumina
Youth Choirs is a
not-for-profit, choral
arts organization
for young people in
the Tampa Bay and
surrounding metropolitan
area. Lumina offers students in grades K-12
a fun, interactive, weekly program where practice
and participation in choral music helps them develop
creativity, confidence, interpersonal communication,
problem-solving skills, literacy and more.
Lumina is a place where children are encouraged
to develop their musical talents in a community of
friends that share a love of music and singing. This
diversified program of vocal arts sustains six choirs
of boys and girls that perform locally, nationally
and internationally in choral festival, concert and
competition settings. These choirs include Stele
(an advanced choir for high school women), Voci
de Lumina (a chamber ensemble for high school
singers), Serata (an intermediate to advanced choir
for boys with changed voices grades 8-12), Amiaza
(an intermediate choir for treble boys and girls
grades 6-12), Aurora (children’s choir for students in
grades 2-5), and Prima (children’s choir for singers
in grades K-1). Currently some 180 students, representing
five surrounding counties in the Tampa Bay
area are enrolled in the program.
Choirs from Lumina have performed coast to coast
in venues such as Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center,
Walt Disney World, the St. Louis Cathedral,
The Cathedral of St. John the Divine and the Florida
State Capitol. Additionally, choirs from Lumina
have been featured on international tours of the
British Isles, Ireland, China and Canada.
