About the Choir |
The Children’s Choir of Rome was founded in January, 2015 by American music educator and choral director, Rhonda AbouHana. The CCR is an English-speaking choir that is open to all young people in the Greater Rome Community who are between the ages of 7 and 18. Participating in the CCR provides a great opportunity for non-native English speakers to practice and improve their English language skills while making music with new friends who share similar interests. The Children’s Choir of Rome provides high quality, age-appropriate vocal training to young people of various musical backgrounds and abilities. Choristers will sing quality choral repertoire and receive instruction in music reading and ear training. Choir members will have the opportunity to collaborate with professional musicians in the Rome area and perform concerts. Rehearsals take place at beautiful St. Paul’s Within the Walls on via Napoli and via Nazionale
