Mission

The Boston Children’s Chorus harnesses the power and joy of music to unite our city’s diverse communities and inspire social change. Our singers transcend social barriers in a celebration of shared humanity and love of music. Through intensive choral training and high-profile public performance experience (locally, throughout the U.S. and around the world), they learn discipline, develop leadership skills, and proudly represent the city of Boston as ambassadors of harmony.

Vision

The Boston Children’s Chorus (BCC) is a multi-racial, multi-ethnic arts education organization that purposefully unites area children ages 7-18 across differences of race, religion and economic status. Our singers transcend social barriers in a celebration of shared humanity and love of music. Through intensive choral training and high-profile public performance experiences (locally, throughout the U.S. and around the world), they learn discipline, develop leadership skills, and proudly represent the city of Boston as ambassadors of harmony. We were founded in 2003 by Hubie Jones, whose vision was to inspire diverse audiences with the power of children singing, both through their sound and in their message. The BCC’s mission is to harness the power and joy of music as a catalyst to unite our city’s diverse communities and inspire social change.

We strive to reach every child who loves to sing, especially those from urban neighborhoods who are underserved. BCC substantially subsidizes the cost of tuition to keep our programs open to all. In cases of financial hardship, we offer scholarship assistance that reduces our low tuition even further. We are committed that no child who loves to sing will be turned away for financial reasons.

The BCC is uniquely rooted in its mission to create a world-class children's chorus that will also serve as a catalyst for community-building and social healing. Our singers’ racial, ethnic and socioeconomic diversity, and the diversity of our performances and audiences, also sets us apart. Through key partnerships and collaborations with dozens of community-based organizations, schools, arts organizations and religious institutions, we are determined to create a lasting social and cultural legacy for the children, families and communities of Greater Boston.
