The Trenton Children's Chorus provides opportunities for young people in Trenton, Princeton, and all neighboring communities to learn the artistic power and spirit of creating music together. We want our programs to demonstrate our commitment to a strong, safe, diverse, and supportive community experience where all choir members feel welcome and affirmed. And in all we do, we endeavor to expand the horizons for each choir member in musical education, in performance achievement and in personal standards, academic learning, individual growth and musical joy.
