On May 11th, The Detroit Children's Choir will host
its first live concert since the advent of the global pandemic!
Detroit Children's Choir is an organization that focuses on
providing quality education and choral music opportunities to students in
underserved Detroit communities.
The Detroit Children's Choir
(DCC) is hosting its annual Spring concert, titled "How Can I
From Singing?" The DCC will host this performance to
recapture or surpass the pre-pandemic glory of a live choral performance
experience. Together, students from (6) Detroit Public Schools and its Saturday
Civic Choir, representing children from the Tri-county area, will raise their
voices in song.
Several professional Detroit
artists will join the DCC as guest performers, including renowned Jazz &
R&B vocalist Gwen Foxx,
recording artist and support artist Beth Griffith-Manley,
and Detroit Rapper- Lyricist Curtis Bates. Accompanied by a live band, approximately 200 students
will combine voices of hope and resilience, showcasing their musicianship,
vocal training, and aural skills developed throughout the year.
This free concert will be
held on Wednesday, May 11, 2022, at 7:00 PM. at the Basilica of Sainte Ann de
Detroit, a beautiful, historical church located in southwest Detroit at 1000
St. Anne St., Detroit, MI 48216. This church is the 2nd oldest, continuously
operating Roman Catholic parish in the U.S., founded July 26, 1701. The current
church was built in 1886. Tours of this historic church are available before
the concert, starting at 5:30 PM. For those who cannot attend in person, the
concert will also be streamed live on the Detroit Children’s Choir’s
Facebook page and YouTube channel.
The performance will
highlight the benefits of teamwork, cooperation, and creativity as students
create beautiful music presenting a wide range of genres. The music keeps the
spirit of hope alive in these children as the pandemic winds down.
The Spring concert is open to
all community members, students' families, and supporters! Please register for
this event at Eventbrite-Detroit Children's Choir

ABOUT THE DETROIT
CHILDREN'S CHOIR
Founded in 2006, The Detroit
Children's Choir is the brainchild of retired music teacher and choral music
director Carol Shoch. Carol identified a need for children in underserved
Detroit communities to have opportunities to access quality choral music
education. Many schools, at that time, had cut music and arts education from
their curriculum. Since then, the DCC has leveraged the power and discipline of
its choral singing programs to provide choral music education to over 4500
children in southeast Michigan communities. Its programming offers a vibrant
musical outlet that encourages collaboration and creativity, assists youth in
their personal development, and creates a path toward understanding and better
connection with others. Exposure to musical training and the arts for children
in these communities can be life-changing as they learn skills that will serve
them well into adulthood!
The DCC is a non-profit
organization relying on the support provided by the community, donors,
corporations, and foundations to fulfill its mission. To learn more,
