Celebrating our 21st Season in 2007 - 2008!
The Spokane Area Children's Chorus, founded
in 1987, serves young singers from the greater Spokane area between
the ages of 7 and 17. The goal of SACC is the pursuit of musical excellence
at all levels. This builds self-esteem and nurtures the artistic and
personal growth of our members in a joyful and supportive way. Weekly
rehearsals emphasize the development of musicianship, vocal techniques
and performance skills.
As well as presenting an annual concert series,
the Chorus performs regularly with regional and local artists such as
the Spokane Symphony Orchestra and Northwest Bach Festival.
There are seven choirs that make up the SACC
chorus, each reflects the changing needs of children as their musical
ability develops and their age: Preparatory Choir,
Elementary Choir, Intermediate Choir, Concert Choir, Ensemble Choir, Boychoir, and Cambiata Choir .
