Book a Performance

 JCC performs for local civic and corporate events, award ceremonies and private gatherings. “The kids in the red vests and blazers” have become a recognized group at major community events and celebrations including inaugurations, City Hall Christmas parties, and for the benefit of local charities such as Dignity You Wear. JCC singers have sung in Holiday Pops performances of the Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra, performed in five major operas, self-produced more than 60 concerts, commissioned 13 new musical compositions and arrangements and sung every genre of music from Bach to Bluegrass. 

If you want to book the JCC to create a memorable event, please submit your request at least six months in advance of the event. The venue must accommodate at least 20 singers. Because these performances help underwrite our scholarship program, an honorarium (dependent on performance length, preparation time, scheduling, number of performers, and accompanists required) is respectfully requested.

“Being a part of the JCC has not only allowed Christian to experience the fun, excitement and pleasure of singing with friends, it has also helped him to develop a sense of confidence that comes from life skills of hard work and perseverance.”

Elaine Bourne, JCC Parent

“Music plays a major role in the full development of a child. Not only does it enrich lives, it also serves as a pathway for students to express themselves and explore new ways to communicate with others. For 20 years, kudos to the JCC for molding the lives of young artists, and I look forward to the next 20 years.”

Tim Cost, President, Jacksonville University

“The Chorus expands your musical horizons and helps you grow as a person. You are surrounded with other young people who have something in common…their love of music. I have learned that music does, indeed, bring people and cultures together. The music we sing brings people hope for a better future of understanding and cooperation.”

Jasmine M., JCC Alum

“It is gratifying the Jacksonville Children’s Chorus program covers so much of what is not available to children in the Duval Public Schools. The children who have an opportunity to participate in your Chorus are very fortunate to have this outstanding musical training available to them. The entire community benefits from your talent and that of the children.”

Dr. Frances B. Kinne , Former Chancellor Emeritus and Past President, Jacksonville University

“Music is such a valuable part of life. The way it enriches one’s life and encourages creativity, I do not believe anything else can do as much. We in Jacksonville are certainly blessed to have the Jacksonville Children’s Chorus.”

Scott C. Snyder, President, Compass Consulting Group
