SCC in the Schools!
Seattle Children’s Chorus is starting an Elementary School Choir Pilot Program! SCC believes in supporting elementary school programs.
SCC believes in supporting elementary school music programs and is working with two elementary schools and their fantastic choir directors and accompanists:
Becca Woodbury and Zhanhong Kuang at Bailey Gatzert Elementary School
KT Raschko and Lucy Fesalbon at Kimball Elementary School
This pilot program provides after school rehearsals in preparation for our March 14 concert. These two elementary school choirs will join our Brio and Intermezzo choirs and sing together as one impressively large chorus.
SCC is thrilled to be supporting young singers at Seattle Public Schools. Please join us for our concert on Saturday, March 14 at First Free Methodist Church to witness the magical sound of one hundred elementary school voices together!
