Hamilton Children's Choir

Join Hamilton Children’s Choir in celebrating 50 years of choral singing and youth music education in Hamilton! This celebration will feature the full HCC family of choirs, Kolibro, Komenci, Esplori, Esprimas, Lumo, and Ilumini, former Artistic Directors (founder Donald Kendrick, John Laing, and Zimfira Poloz), special guests, pop-up performances from other local choirs, and archival installations. This is HCC’s biggest concert yet - you don’t want to miss it! This concert will also be the release of HCC’s 50th Anniversary Album, “Throughout the Ages.” 

This concert would not be possible without the generous support of the incite Foundation for the Arts.
