The Jacksonville Children’s Chorus (JCC) was founded in 1995 at Jacksonville University to fill a need for a children’s music program in the area. Led by Dr. Frances B. Kinne, then Jacksonville University president, the plan to create a local choir was implemented by Dr. Jon O. Carlson and Jim Taylor, who served as the first conductor. In that first year, JCC had only 16 voices. Since then, it has grown to serve over 1000 singers annually through its programs.
They celebrate 30 years Saturday from 3 - 5 pm with their “Songs of Joy” Concert at Riverside Park United Church.
Summer Camp registration is open, as well! www.jaxchildrenschorus.org
