Our Program

children singing in chorus

The Chester Children's Chorus is a year-round organization that focuses on ... you guessed it ... the children of Chester. Throughout the academic year, CCC students encounter a plethora of positive experiences -- both musically and academically. From the maturation of their vocal talents via rehearsals and concerts, to the skill-building efforts of the math practice program, all of our students show continuous improvement in a variety of areas. In the summer, a rigorous five-week, full-day learning program focuses on music, math, science, art, swimming, and other areas of interest. Everyone involved truly benefits.

Piano

Concerts
