The Northland Youth Choir was established in July 2000 and operates under the direction of Melissa Downes. Open to Fairbanks' youth, the choir promotes music literacy and quality choral performance. The program emphasizes the development and understanding of music skills and encourages singers to look within themselves and find self expression through singing.

The choirs give several performances throughout the season and also make appearances at the Pioneer Home, Denali Center, and UAF Nanook Hockey games. Since 2003 they have been annual guest performers at the Fairbanks Symphony Holiday Design Alaska Concert. In 2005 and 2007 the Cantabile and Touring choirs traveled to Eugene, Oregon to participate in the Pacific International Children's Choral Festival (PICCFEST). Each spring the children share their love of music with public and private schools in a day long school tour. In 2009 the Touring Choir participated in the Crossroads Children's Chorus Festival at the Opryland Resort in Nashville, Tennesee.
