Savannah Children’s Choir is one of the few organizations in greater Savannah where kids from different schools, different faiths, and different backgrounds can get to know one another and work together.
Every Monday after school, children ranging in age from 4-18 gather to rehearse, read music, work on their vocal intonation, and develop important life skills. In addition to two weekend retreats each semester, the singers ramp up their rehearsal schedule for special concerts and performances, devoting countless hours to the pursuit of perfection.
