Mission Our mission is to use the power of choral music education as a cultural platform to unite children of diverse backgrounds. We aim to provide experiences through choral music education that will enrich the lives of Metro Detroit’s youth and communities, ultimately shaping confident, focused, and expressive leaders. What began as a single, in-school program in 2006 has transformed into an organization that now boasts seven different choirs in schools and neighborhoods across Metro Detroit, as well as three ensembles meeting on Saturdays, all in partnership with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra! Today, the Detroit Children’s Choir is the only community-wide, inclusive choral music education program in Metro Detroit that serves children in grades 3-8. Last season’s membership exceeded 300 youth participants and consisted of children not just from the city of Detroit, but including surrounding areas such as Macomb, Oakland, and Wayne counties. DCC’s aim is to reach as many young people as possible in order to develop leaders who will bring about positive community change, now and in the future, through the unifying power of choral music education.
