Children’s Chorus of Greater Dallas
The mission of the Children’s Chorus of Greater Dallas is to give Dallas-area children the experience of musical artistry and excellence through choral singing in a group that reflects the area’s diversity. The Chorus performs extensively throughout the Dallas area, often with other performing arts groups such as the Dallas Symphony Orchestra and the Greater Dallas Youth Orchestra.
The Downtown Chorus consists of four children’s choruses (fourth through eighth grade girls and boys with unchanged voices) and two youth choirs. The Youth Chorus – Mixed consists of SATB high school students and, as of the summer of 2009, the Women’s Youth Chorus is CCGD newest choir.
In 2008 the Chorus initiated a community engagement component called the Neighborhood Choir Program (NCP). NCP is free to participants and is a partnership between CCGD and school music programs. NCP brings music education to underserved classrooms and develops talent in the community. Singers that complete the program receive training that enables them to have a competitive audition for the downtown choir.
