Pacific Boychoir Academy

Pacific Boychoir Academy is a Grammy Award-winning, independent choir school for boys in grades four through eight, with seven after-school choirs for boys in pre-kindergarten through high school. PBA provides a richly diverse community, focusing on excellence in music education, academics, and performance. Founded in Oakland, California in 1998 by Artistic Director Kevin Fox, PBA serves over 170 choristers a season, has released seven independent albums, tours internationally each year, and has garnered three Grammy Awards with the San Francisco Symphony. It is the only North American boychoir school outside of the East Coast, offering unique and rigorous choral and academic programs, producing confident, engaged young scholars and artists. The L.A. Times calls PBA’s sound quality “astonishing,” while the New York Times hails its ability to perform music “far beyond the reach of most children’s choirs.”
