History
Our mission is to advance the choral arts through education, performance, and collaboration at the highest artistic level, fostering individual development and international relationships. The Choir is a both an educational institution and an arts organization. The two are inextricably linked and intertwined. We believe that music is good for children, and that choral singing is a deeply wholesome, invigorating, enriching practice.
