The Oregon Children's Choir
Based in Eugene, Oregon, the Oregon Children's Choir was formed in January 1982 to supplement the musical training offered in local schools, by providing advanced choral experiences for talented students of music. Oregon Children's Choir rehearsals and performances throughout the choir season - as well as invitations to participate in other professional community productions - makes for a rigorous and challenging musical experience.

The Choir has grown from one choir in 1982 to seven choirs and three small ensembles with over 300 choristers. Choirs rehearse and perform throughout the choir season (September through June). In addition to the Oregon Children's Choir concerts there are many invitations to participate with other professional community productions.
