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
