The Blacksburg Children’s Chorale aims to awaken the gift of music through the joy of singing, choral excellence and community for all children in the NRV! BCC is under the direction of Amy Hill, Artistic Director, and Assistant Director Cristen Mitchell. Established in 2006 as part of the Blacksburg Master Chorale's educational outreach, the Blacksburg Children’s Chorale presents its own concert series and frequently collaborates with the Blacksburg Master Chorale, artists and musical organizations in the community. Past highlights for the Blacksburg Children's Chorale include: performing in the annual S.M.I.L.E.S concert at the Lyric Theatre in Blacksburg through the New River Valley Friends of the Roanoke Symphony, auditioning and being a part of the Southern Division and National Honor Choirs through ACDA, performing in American Opera Theater's production of Venus and Adonis, Powaqqatsi with the Philip Glass Ensemble in the inaugural concert for the Center for the Arts at Virginia Tech, The Three Feathers world premiere children's opera, Broadway Beat, a choral review, community concerts at Warm Hearth Village and the Smithfield Plantation, as well as the annual lighting of the tree and Christmas parade in downtown Blacksburg.
