Kick off the holidays with a joyful and soul-stirring concert performed by the GRAMMY award winning National Children's Chorus, “a truly ethereal sound” (Gramophone). The Boston concert will features students ages 5-18 offering an extraordinary performance of a brand-new winter collection of songs that inspire gratitude, mindfulness, and self-knowledge.


The program includes the Spanish Traditional "Arre Borriquito," "Always Sing Your Song" by Victor C. Johnson, "Somewhere in My Memory" by John Williams & Leslie Bricusse; "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" by Ralph Blane; "Winter" by Anthony Giamanco & Walter de la Mare, and "The Christmas Song" by Mel Tormé & Robert Wells.


NCC knows how kids thrive. The organization guides over 1,100 students nationwide to find their voice and achieve their best through unparalleled vocal training in eight U.S. chapter cities (New York City, Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., San Francisco, Austin, Dallas, Boston and Chicago). Under the leadership of Luke McEndarfer and Pamela Blackstone, they perform on the world's leading stages and work with world-class artists. Each choir member receives the same training and learns the same repertoire and breath marks so that any member may participate in any concert.


NCC last came to international attention when they performed with the Los Angeles Philharmonic & Gustavo Dudamel on the 2022 GRAMMY winning album (best choral performance) Mahler: Symphony No. 8.


The festive December concert marks the start to the group’s 120th anniversary season where the group will launch a new chapter city, exponentially expand its scholarship program, and set off on an eighth international tour. As a preview of the season, the NCC released the album Illumine on Lexicon Classics recorded at Abbey Road Studios and AIR Studios in London last summer, in collaboration with the London Symphony Orchestra. The album highlights holiday music from different countries, cultures, and traditions around the world resulting in an exquisite musical collection — a diverse, world-encompassing array of holiday expressions by underrepresented voices in choral music.
