"BCC has provided our Ellison Parks 2nd and 3rd graders with incredible chorus instruction and a wonderful opportunity to strengthen their love of the arts. Robert and the team are tremendous!! Our young scholars have had so much fun. They love Wednesday afternoons and the singing fills the school with joy during every session. It was such a highlight to see our students participating on the stage at Symphony Hall.

We only hope that this partnership will continue to grow and strengthen." - Benjamin Rockoff, Principal, Ellison Parks Early Education School (In-School Partner 2022-Present)
