The Boston Children's Chorus is a multi-racial, multi-ethnic arts education organization that unites area children across differences of race, religion and economic status to discover the power of singing and to serve as ambassadors for their city through local performances at city-wide events as well as on tour nationally and internationally. The chorus' mission - to maximize the power of music to create social change - is broad and ambitious: youth development, social healing and community building are the fundamental goals, and music is the powerful tool we employ for social change.
