Southern California Children's Chorus
Concert ChorusThe Southern California Children’s Chorus (SCCC), Orange County’s only chorus dedicated exclusively to meeting the educational and performance needs of children, seeks to do more than introduce youth to music and singing. It strives to enrich the lives of its members through programs stressing musical aptitude, teamwork, discipline, self-confidence and personal growth.
Currently SCCC encompasses six levels of sequential vocal and choral instruction. The children come from a wide geographic area of Southern California, sometimes traveling over an hour to attend weekly rehearsals.
The SCCC has an outstanding faculty of nine choral directors who are highly skilled in their chosen field of children’s choral music. They provide the young singers with a caring, nurturing environment in which a full range of music can be learned. The choristers are immersed in compositions in multiple languages from many cultures, with themes ranging from the classics to folk and contemporary music.
Choristers perform locally throughout the year at private and public concerts as well as participating in choral invitationals. SCCC also presents Spring and Holiday Concerts. The SCCC has provided singers for Touchstone films, MGM films, music videos, commercials, symphony concerts, operas, television specials, exclusive Disney performances, the Academy Awards and many musical productions. The SCCC has received many awards including their third Emmy for their work in the television program E:60 with Steven Tyler honoring the Boston Marathon victims. They have also been privileged to present concerts at world renowned venues, including Carnegie Hall, Westminster Abbey, the White House, the Washington National Cathedral, the Lincoln Center in New York, the Basilica San Marco in Venice, Italy, and Australia’s Sydney Opera House.
