Boston Children's Chorus
Hubie Jones, who has been heavily involved in over
30 Boston philanthropic organizations, heard the
renowned Chicago Children’s Choir and thought, if
Chicago can do it, why can’t Boston? So in 2003 he
founded the Boston Children’s Chorus, to promote
artistic excellence and social change together. In only
four years, BCC has grown from one program for
20, to nine programs at four locations for nearly 300
children and youth from more than 50 Greater Boston
communities—all races, religions and economic
backgrounds. Their in-depth, high-quality music
education program focuses on skill-building in vocal
musicianship, theory and performance. Their multilevel
choir programs and summer camp (with slidingscale
tuition) are designed to enhance the accessible
landscape of first-class arts programs for Boston’s
youth. BCC has presented over 150 performances, and
been heard by millions on television—at the Boston
Pops July 4th, the Democratic National Convention,
on tours to Japan and Mexico, and at Governor
Patrick’s inauguration. This year when King Abdullah
of Jordan heard them in Boston, he was so moved he
suggested a future tour to his country. Besides singing
in homeless shelters, at community events, in religious
venues of all faiths, they collaborate with some of our
leading musical institutions. They have a great future,
and you can be part of it.
