The West Texas Children's Chorus will soon begin their 14th season, titled Chansons de Notre Coeurs ("Songs from Our Hearts.") — a fantastic opportunity to grow and sing with friends, culminating in a summer tour to Canada in June 2018. Artistic director Dr. Susan Brumfield and the friendly artistic staff of the WTCC are looking for young musicians who want to experience the joy of singing music together!
If you or someone you know has children who are interested in singing, the WTCC will be hosting early placement auditions for their 2017-2018 season at LakeRidge United Methodist Church on Tuesday, May 23, 2017 from 4:00pm to 7:00pm. Pre-registration can be completed at the WTCC’s web site. In addition, there are special tuition discounts for children of TTU faculty and staff members, and for families with multiple siblings who sing in the WTCC.
The philosophy of the West Texas Children's Chorus emphasizes the joy of singing for its own sake, and the development of the whole child through diverse musical experiences of the highest caliber. The WTCC strives to provide a stimulating and nurturing environment in which every singer can grow — musically, intellectually, and personally. We hope that the WTCC experience will open doors to a life-long enjoyment of music for every child!
Singers are selected on the basis of their aural and vocal potential, their desire to sing, their ability to learn quickly and their willingness to work hard. Children from public, private and home schools meet Tuesday afternoons for an hour of rehearsals and music-making. They are led by a staff consisting of university faculty, area school music and movement specialists, professional singers, and Texas Tech University undergraduate and graduate Music Education interns.
