About the Campbell River Children's Choir
The Campbell River Children’s Choir is a a registered charitable organization that consists of over 100 singers in three choirs. Our goal is to provide musical instruction and opportunities for young singers which will broaden their horizons, improve their skills and foster meaningful links with their community and the world. The choir endeavors to enrich the lives of children from all religious, racial, cultural and economic backgrounds. In keeping with these goals the choir provides professional weekly instruction to singers and also brings well known composers and musicians to our community for workshops and performances. The choir has performed at venues across Canada, the United States, Great Britain and Cuba.
