A Video: The Benefits of Being in a Choir

Many are drawn to choral singing because they have a desire to participate in the communal expression, creation, and performance of beautiful music. Choral singing is a thriving and growing form of artistic expression in America, and advances many positive qualities in children and adults.

This piece originally aired on Sunday, June 14, 2009 on CBS Sunday Morning with Charles Osgood. To see this video larger, click on the YouTube icon above.

Supporters of the Wilmington Children's Chorus

We're thrilled to report that The Cabaret Concert and Silent Auction in March, 2010, raised a total of $7,461.75! The standing-room audience was entertained by a wide array of soloists and ensemble pieces that featured choristers from all of our ensembles.

Over 60 items were donated from individuals and community businesses, and more than 50 individuals volunteered their time to help make the event run smoothly. We would like to extend a deep and sincere thank you to everyone who helped make this event such a success! These funds will help underwrite the material costs of music and uniform expenses for the WCC choristers.

Please show your appreciation to these generous sponsors by patronizing their businesses and sharing with them your awareness of their support to the youth of our community.
