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.
Alumni Choir:
We are going to organize an alumni choir for our 30th anniversary concert (May 2010 in Abravanel Hall.) If you are interested in being part of this choir, please email us at slcc@q.com and give us your email address and/or your mailing address. Also, if you know of any alumni who might be interested in joining our alumni choir, please email us their email address and/or mailing address at slcc@q.com.
