Boston Globe Highlights the Boston Children’s Chorus
Taking kids’ voices seriously
The Boston Children’s Chorus director has big ambitions for his group
Since its founding in 2003, the Boston Children's Chorus has grown from a 20-singer pilot program to a group that serves almost 300 kids, ages seven to 18 years old, singing in nine different choirs. It was founded by the Boston education activist Hubie Jones with the hope of bridging racial divides through its multi-ethnic makeup. These days, the chorus actively recruits in the Boston schools and also draws kids from over 50 towns and cities across greater Boston, with half of the children coming from families making $50,000 or less. Auditions are ongoing throughout the summer (continued...)

Do you know a child who loves to sing?
The Boston Children's Chorus is a multi-racial, multi-cultural arts organization bringing together children in grades 2-12 from Boston’s diverse racial, ethnic and socioeconomic communities to discover the power of singing together and to serve as ambassadors for their city. Through numerous performances at major local events, as well as on tour nationally and internationally, members of the Boston Children’s Chorus share their passion for musical excellence and artistry. The Chorus' mission 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.
