Do you know a child who loves to sing? We would love to hear them! Boston Children's Chorus (BCC) invites singers, aged 7-18, to join us this fall for the 2021-2022 season! BCC is a creative, affirming, and vibrant community with over 300 young artists in 8 choirs. Recognized for their captivating performance style, BCC singers have toured to over 10 countries, with notable showcases at London’s Royal Albert Hall and the Sydney Opera House in Australia. Our singers have also performed at iconic Boston landmarks including Fenway Park, the Hatch Shell, and Boston’s Symphony Hall. Weekly rehearsals create a safe space to hone musical skills and forge lasting friendships. BCC Singers come from over 100 different zip codes in and around Boston, connecting our city’s youth and families through the power of song and artistry. Our programs focus on issues of justice that pertain to advancing recognition, respect, and representation of the many cultures that characterize Boston’s landscape.
To join BCC this fall (September 2021), all you have to do is ONE of the following:

Zoom Placement Session (Private)

What to expect during the Zoom Placement Session:
• Your singer will engage with two of our talented conductors or staff during the placement session. The session will be scheduled for 10 minutes and singers will be evaluated on vocal production, level of music literacy, and presentation. Please prepare a song that you love to sing, in any style. If you do not come with a prepared song, our staff may invite you to sing a popular song like "Happy Birthday". The Zoom link will be emailed to you as soon as you sign up for the session.
