Mission Statement
The Salt Lake Children's Choir was established in the fall of 1979 in
order to extend the community's already rich musical heritage into the
area of fine choral singing by children--long a highly cherished art
form in many cultural centers of the world. Combining the inherent
beauty of carefully guided young voices with the world's outstanding
vocal literature, the choir strives each year to be an increasingly
influential and worthy example of the children's choral art and a
source of rich aesthetic experiences for audience and singer alike.
