The
foundational goal of the Evensong Children’s Choir
is to provide a choral experience designed to give children in Elementary
and Middle School musical as well as personal growth.
Core emphasis is placed on the skills required to learn the music and perform
it with concentration, dedication and artistic expression. We believe that
this work ethic instills character qualities which can be applied to many
other challenging situations in life providing our choristers with the confidence
needed to pursue their dreams.
The Evensong Children’s
Choir is an independent organization with free rehearsal space graciously
provided by St. Faith’s Episcopal Church in Cutler Bay, Florida
