Children's Chorus of Greater Dallas
Now entering its 17th season, the Children’s Chorus of Greater Dallas (CCGD) is one of America’s largest and most prestigious youth choral programs. Under the leadership of Artistic Director Cynthia Nott, CCGD pursues its mission of "providing Dallas-area young people the experience of artistry and excellence through choral singing in a group that reflects the area's diversity." CCGD’s nine choral ensembles serve nearly 500 children and teens in grades 4–12, drawn from 43 communities throughout a 33-mile radius of downtown Dallas. Approximately 3,900 patrons annually attend CCGD’s season concerts, held at Dallas’ world-class Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center. Through ancillary regional performances, national and international tours, and community engagement initiatives—including Outreach Chorus Tours, Summer Singing Camp, and learning partnerships with the Dallas Independent School District—CCGD extends the enrichment of choral music to up to 24,000 additional children, youth, and adults each year. Heralded by acclaimed conductor Jaap van Zweden as “one of the best [children’s choruses] I’ve ever heard,” CCGD enjoys a reputation for artistic excellence within the classical music community as well as among audiences at home and abroad.
