Boys to Men Choral Festival
Boys 2 Men 2026 is a dynamic, day-long choral festival sponsored by the Children’s Chorus of San Antonio (CCSA) and IlluMen, especially designed for middle and high school male singers across San Antonio. Participants will rehearse and perform three combined selections alongside special guest artists and clinicians: Dr. Jordan Boyd from UTSA, Members of IlluMen, Dr. Carolyn Cruse from CCSA, and Mr. Gabriel Treviño from Johnson High School and CCSA. Join us to celebrate male choral singing, strengthen your program, and build positive peer connections through leadership and mentorship with fellow singers and professional musicians!

BOYS 2 MEN CHORAL FESTIVAL 2025
Co-sponsored by CCSA and SAISD Fine Arts
At the end of April 2025, tenors and basses from the Children‘s Chorus of San Antonio and SAISD joined forces for two days of vocal training, focused rehearsals, and good-old fashioned FUN. Members of IlluMen—San Antonio‘s very own all-men‘s choral Ensemble—provided masterclass-level coaching and inspiration, culminating in an evening concert with crowd favorites like: Convidando está la noche, The River, and We’re the Men
About the Festival:
● Boys 2 Men is an exciting festival of choral music and camaraderie!
● We were joined by special guest artists–IlluMen–San Antonio’s premier, all-male vocal ensemble.
● We combine with Middle School & High School tenors/basses in SAISD to develop vocal skills, explore diverse choral music, and connect
with fellow singers. Singers worked with experienced clinicians, enjoy engaging activities, and perform in a final combined choir showcase.
Thank you to IlluMen and the Fine Arts Department, SAISD for providing such an incredible opportunity for young men! We are excited about upcoming festivals, so be sure to “like and follow” us on social media or subscribe to our newsletter to be the first to know when our next opportunity arises!
