" Phoenix Children’s Chorus is a true advocate for school music programs throughout the valley. The students who have gone through PCC have become leaders in my own program and have inspired others to achieve at higher levels. The musical literacy skills gained helps to establish a standard of excellence in my own program! "

Our choristers are at the center of everything we do. From the music we select to the incredible teaching staff leading rehearsals, we ensure that we are creating a meaningful experience for every child in our organization.

Despite recent challenges, we have continued to adapt and innovate, while remaining true to who we have always been, a child-centered choral organization.
