History of the Chicago Children's Choir BOOK

The Chicago Children's Choir, which was formed in 1956 as the Junior Choir of the First Unitarian Church, by the late Rev. Christopher Moore, has an incredible 65+ year history, which has impacted many thousands of Chicagoans, and audiences around the country and world with it's interracial composition beginning in the 1950s, and performing incredibly challenging music written for adults at incredibly high levels!

 

CCC was a Hyde Park institution for 31 years before it was relocated downtown in 1994, hence being included in Astrid Fuller's original mural on 57th street in 1973. I had the privilege to be a member (1988-97).

 

The choir has an incredibly rich history, much of it set in Hyde Park, Chicago, that must be recorded for posterity.

 

Your donations to this project will help the book about the choir's first forty years (1956-1996) come to fruition. It's a fascinating history.

 

Your donations will cover expenses for author publishing (HOPEFULLY in 2022!!!!!):

 

Donations of $100 or greater will ensure a free book for an alumni who contributed their time to the book's research. ALL Donations of any size would be incredibly appreciated!
