关于我们

The GRAMMY? Award-winning National Children’s Chorus (NCC), led by Artistic Director Luke McEndarfer and Associate Artistic Director Dr. Pamela Blackstone, is one of the world’s leading children’s choirs, serving over 1,100 youth in eight chapter cities: Los Angeles, New York, Washington, D.C., San Francisco, Austin, Dallas, Boston, and Chicago. Providing unparalleled training and performance experiences to young singers around the country, the NCC’s extraordinary team of artistic and administrative professionals are also passionately committed to equitable access to its offerings through a robust scholarship program that funds participation for all qualifying families. Performing locally and abroad, the National Children’s Chorus regularly sings at celebrated music halls, working with some of the finest conductors, composers and orchestras. Venues include Royce Hall, Walt Disney Concert Hall, Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels, and the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles; the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC; as well as Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center in New York, sharing the stage with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Los Angeles Master Chorale, and American Youth Symphony, among others. Students of the NCC are represented by more than three hundred schools throughout its cities and meet weekly for rehearsal and musicianship study. The extensive curriculum includes college-level conducting, composition, music theory, sight-singing in the Kodály Method, Dalcroze eurhythmics, and individual voice training in the bel canto style. Through a holistic approach to cultivating the unique potential within each child, graduates from the program are accepted at top conservatories, colleges and universities. Each summer, Senior Division ensembles of the NCC travel internationally, expanding the students’ cultural awareness and worldly experience. The NCC also hosts an annual summer opera camp, commissioning new works, and designed to engage youth in the art of opera.

    For your GRAMMY? consideration: HELP MAKE HISTORY by supporting “Illumine” for Best Choral Performance (the first time ever a youth solo album would be recognized in this category). https://lnkd.in/eFqpKcqq Truly, I’m so proud of the National Children's Chorus and the jaw-dropping beauty they created here with the London Symphony Orchestra. Internally, for years, our methodology at the NCC has been to validate, recognize and acknowledge the potential for greatness within each child—greatness not as a distant goal for the future, but an attainable reality in the present. Children are often underestimated, but the truth is that when you set the bar high for them, they not only reach it, but exceed it. “Illumine” is a testament to this truth. The difficulty of musical execution was sky high, and the endurance required was immense—17 tracks and 837 takes—accomplished with mastery by 250 young singers in just 3 days of recording. What a huge accomplishment, and more, what a gift. Please enjoy the artistry of “Illumine” and we encourage voting members of the academy to join our cause. Thank you everyone for your support—engaging youth proactively in the present truly is how we create a better future.
