Boston Children's Chorus Dress Rehearsal

New England Conservatory is a cauldron of new ideas, some so big that they become organizations in their own right. We proudly showcase these partners.

The Boston Children’s Chorus (BCC) is an innovative arts education organization that unites area children ages 7-19 across differences of race, religion, and socioeconomic status. Here they discover the power of singing, and transcend social barriers in a celebration of shared humanity and love of music. Through intensive choral training and unsurpassed performing experiences locally, nationally, and around the world, the BCC enhances the 21st-century education and social development of youth as musicians, productive citizens, and future leaders.

NEC is the lead artistic partner of the Boston Children’s Chorus. Through this partnership, BCC and NEC explore opportunities for joint research projects and support one another’s artistic and musical endeavors in a variety of ways, including the potential of current and former NEC students serving as fellows to the BCC. The fellows gain hands-on teaching and conducting experience as they assist in carrying out BCC’s instructional and performance programs.

Beloved Community

In his letter from the Birmingham jail written almost 50 years ago, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. expressed his belief that “we are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny.”

In our society, we are often polarized by our differences. Through the power of song, the Boston Children’s Chorus chooses to focus on the ties that bind us to one another as part of a Beloved Community.

Join the Boston Children’s Chorus as they honor Dr. King and embrace the solidarity of our human family.

Tickets are available in person at the NEC box office and online through the link below.

Great seats are still available for this afternoon dress rehearsal—an inexpensive alternative for families with young children and early bedtimes.
