About the RVCC Concert Choir:
The Concert (C) Choir is the highest level choir in the Roanoke Valley Children’s Choir. Many of our choristers in the C Choir are completing 4-10 years of singing in the RVCC. Artistic interpretation is emphasized in great detail. In our goal for vocal and musical expertise, many styles and genres of music are included in our challenging repertoire. Students are stretched to reach their highest potential and learn how to perfect each detail of the music to make each song into a masterpiece. While working side by side with Ms. Davidson and one another, the older students helping the younger ones, a great sense of family is created and strong leadership skills are confidently developed. We strive for the highest level of excellence in all areas and expect only the best from each of our choristers. Because of their high level of excellence, the C Choir has enjoyed many special performance opportunities. Along with the RVCC’s annual Christmas and Spring Concerts, Holiday Pops with the Roanoke Symphony Orchestra, the annual Church Tour, and the Community Carol Sing-a-long each year, the Concert Choir has performed at numerous community events, Children’s Choir festivals around the world, and as invited guests at many choral venues in the US and abroad.
