The Arlington Children’s Chorus is going to be two years old this spring. Do you know what our mission is? We do have one! It is the purpose behind all of the hard work of the Mr. Carr, Ms. Epstein, our choristers and the many parents and volunteers who make the ACC what it is.
Our mission is to support public awareness of and excellence in the choral arts by:
1) presenting choral performances of distinction,
2) fostering the musical growth of its members,
3) contributing to the increased knowledge and appreciation of choral music in Arlington VA and surrounding communities and
4) encouraging the public to view the inclusion of a high quality musical experience as an essential element of a comprehensive arts education.
A lofty goal but something worth working towards at every single rehearsal and every single performance.
