Since 1984, Phoenix Children’s Chorus (PCC) has been transforming children’s lives through music by facilitating artistic, musical, and cultural development, and offering world-class choral education. More than just a performance ensemble, PCC prides itself on its rigorous music education curriculum including the study and practice of vocal technique, innovative music literacy instruction, and professional performance skills. Our artistic team is comprised of highly qualified, experienced, and successful educators who enjoy guiding children to reach their potential. PCC began with just 35 children, became a 501(c)3 nonprofit in 2010, and has grown to become Arizona’s premier mixed-voice youth choral education program, with more than 300 choristers in a variety of ensembles.

​

Phoenix Children’s Chorus offers multiple choral experiences to allow families to choose the best fit for their child. PCC Downtown is an auditioned premier program for children in grades 3-12 featuring touring ensembles, weekend overnight camp, small group music literacy classes, and performances in Arizona’s finest concert venues. PCC Voices is a neighborhood choir program for children in grades 3-9 serving local communities with engaging choral rehearsals integrated with music literacy. Poco Voce is a music exploration program for K-3 designed to form the building blocks of musicianship offered at all our locations with no audition required.

​

Quality music education should be accessible for all children. Our comprehensive program helps children from across the Valley — from economically and culturally diverse backgrounds — to build self-esteem, practice teamwork, and develop broader cultural understanding through music. We strive for variety in our artistic programming, performing an array of styles and genres, premiering new works, and singing traditional choral favorites. Choristers gain professional performance experience through staged concert series, community performances, domestic and international touring, and collaboration with fellow arts organizations. Touring throughout the United State as well as international destinations like Germany, Australia, Italy, China, Ireland, Argentina, and Russia have provided PCC choristers and families cultural and musical experiences that form the foundations of tolerance, respect, and understanding.
