The Greater Newburyport Children’s Chorus mission is to provide an opportunity for students
to enrich their lives with quality vocal music education, choral performances and
a joyful, lifelong habit of participation in
music and community.
The chorus aims to serve the community through
musical performances and the students will be exposed
to a wide variety of music genres. Through teamwork, friendship and acceptance of young musicians with ethnic, economic and religious diversity, the chorus will provide the participants with a supportive, educational environment that will promote excellence in music learning.
"The only thing better than singing, is more singing!"...................Ella Fitzgerald
