Valentine ArtHop to benefit the SCC
Join the galleries of SavFADA  (Savannah Fine Art Dealers Association) on Friday evening, February 12 from 5-8 p.m. for an evening of art, music and chocolate!
Member galleries will feature art donated by prominent Savannah artists for sale to benefit the SCC, and 10% of all other sales will benefit the choir as well.
The top bidders on each piece will be invited to an exclusive reception in a newly restored Savannah home to conclude the event and pick up their art.
Esperanza Spalding
2010 Artist-in-Residence
 The Savannah Children's Choir announces their 2010 Artist-in-Residence, Esperanza Spalding.
At age 4, inspired by cellist Yo Yo Ma on an episode of Mr. Roger's Neighborhood, Ms. Spalding taught herself to play the vioin, and later moved on to the bass.
Growing up in a single-parent home in an economically disadvantaged neighborhood in Portland, OR, she suffered from learning disabilities and a lengthy childhood illness. She learned lessons of perseverance and moral strength from her best role model, her mother. As a high school drop-out, she finished her GED and then went on to the prestigious Berklee College of Music. After graduating, she became the youngest faculty member in the history of the institution. She now tours internationally as a jazz artist.
While in Savannah, she will rehearse and perform with the Savannah Children's Choir on Tuesday, March 9, and visit local schools to share her experience of music and hard work.
Senior Choir to attend Windy City Youth Choral Festival in June
After the success of last year's participation in the Somerset International Youth Choral Festival, the Senior Choir will again be traveling, but this year to Chicago, IL to participate in the Windy City Youth Choral Festival.
Want to see the children perform at Chicago's historic Orchestra Hall on Saturday, June 26? Check out the itinerary, and download the registration form to join us!
The Savannah Children's Choir is an auditioned, community choir with a mission of uniting Savannah's children through the power of song.
Currently, the SCC consists of two choirs, the Preparatory and the Senior choirs, and an ensemble of the Senior Choir called the Consort.
 Designed for children in 2nd through 8th grades, the choir provides weekly music education, rehearsals, and performance opportunities throughout the school year. (See box at left for currently scheduled performance dates.)
 The SCC also hosts an annual Artist in Residence program each spring. Visiting artists work with the choir and local schools to highlight careers in the arts.
 Also, the last two weeks of July, the choir provides an annual Summer Choral Camp (for 2nd through 8th graders) and an annual Mini-Choral Camp (for 4-7 year olds) which gives musically-interested kids a fun way to learn about music. The Summer Choral Camp also serves as the primary audition into the Choir.
 This past year, the Preparatory Choir traveled to Chattanooga, Tennessee for a regional tour, and the Senior Choir participated in the Somerset International Youth Choral Festival, where they sang in Wells Cathedral and Sherborne Abbey.
