HELPING CHILDREN FIND THEIR VOICE

Enriching children’s lives by offering choral training, music education and formative performance opportunities

We believe all children should have the opportunity to experience the growth realized from choral singing and to use those benefits to expand their potential and transform the world.

““The Choir helped boost my daughter’s self confidence and we love watching her perform with the group ...it also helped her with self discipline and to persevere in learning songs.””

— SDCC Parent

OUR PROGRAMS

At the San Diego Children’s Choir, our goal is to reach more kids through our programs to nurture individual development creating a foundation for lifelong success.

INTRODUCTORY PROGRAM

A music and movement program for toddlers(ages 1-3) with parents, and a beginning, play-based program for children(ages 4–6) exploring the fundamentals of music.

ENSEMBLE PROGRAM

A sequential choral training for 1st–12th graders that teaches music literacy through creative techniques.

SCHOOL OUTREACH

A weekly music education program for elementary school aged children with a focus on underserved communities.

““I love the choirs’ dedication to inclusivity, fostering a sense of community and belonging to each of the choristers has kept us re-enrolling every year.””

The San Diego Children’s Choir is pleased to present its inaugural Youth Choral Festival, June 27 - July 2, 2024. The 6-day festival offers middle and high school choirs (treble and mixed voice) the opportunity to work with a guest conductor in learning and celebrating repertoire primarily from Mexico and Central America. More than 250 participants from national and local children’s will perform, among other choral works, the world premier of a newly commissioned piece by Mexican composer, Maria Granillo, in unique venues and with other choirs in San Diego.
