The St. Louis Children's Choirs

For 47 years, The St. Louis Children's Choirs (SLCC) have transformed young lives through musical excellence, character growth, and world-class performances. Young people gather regardless of social or economic background to rehearse and perform choral works by master composers, make lifelong friends, and develop as young professionals. SLCC is the official children's choir of the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra. Other partners include the U.S. Air Force Band of Mid-America, Opera Theatre of St. Louis, Bach Society, Ambassadors of Harmony, and the Des Lee Fine Arts Collaborative. SLCC has performed at Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, the White House, and in 14 countries around the world. This season (2024-2025), SLCC enrolls 380 students ages 6 to 18 from over 125 different schools and 75 zip codes in MO and IL to sing in six ensembles.

The 2024-2025 season marks SLCC's 47th anniversary and Dr. Alyson Moore's second season as Artistic Director. Dr. Moore's dynamic vision for the Choirs has produced new programmatic expansions to COCA in University City and the campus of SIUE in Edwardsville, IL. In June 2025, the Choirs will perform at Carnegie Hall with over 100 student, alumni, and parent singers. Recent collaborations collaborations include SLSO and nationally-acclaimed singer and composer Cody Fry, Dances of India, Airlifter Brass from the U.S. Air Force Band, and new performance opportunities for our young artists at the National Council of Well-Being's NATCON with keynote speaker Michelle Obama, the ribbon cutting ceremony for the new SSM Cardinal Glennon Hospital facility, World Pediatric Project's annual gala, and the National Anthem at the start line of the Greater St. Louis Marathon.
