Please join Mobile’s Singing Children at their annual Spring Concert on Sunday, May 15th. The 3pm concert will be in the sanctuary at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church (4051 Old Shell Road, Mobile, 36608).  No ticket is needed.

The concert, entitled “Passport to Music”,  will include music from a variety of countries, languages  and cultures. In MSC tradition, the spring concert will feature all four of Mobile’s Singing Children’s choirs: the Preparatory Choir, the Intermezzo Choir, the Concert Choir, and Encore.  In addition to an enjoyable concert experience, this is a wonderful opportunity for anyone interested in having a child audition to see first hand the full progression of the MSC choral education and experience.

Just recently, the Concert Choir and Encore were graciously hosted in concert at Spanish Fort United Methodist Church in Baldwin County.  This concert offered something of a sneak-peak into the full concert to come on May 15th .  The video link below compiles some guest-posted videos.  We hope you enjoy this bit of a preview and that it will entice you to join us on Sunday, May 15th at St. Paul’s for the full concert experience.

The May 15th concert is free, with donations gratefully accepted at the door.

“Passport to Music”, Mobile’s Singing Children’s spring performance series, has been made possible by grants through the Alabama State Council on the Arts.

John Rutter: The Importance of Choir
“Choral music is not one of life’s frills. It’s something that goes to the very heart of our humanity, our sense of community, and our souls. You express, when you sing, your soul in song. And when you get together with a group of other singers, it becomes more than the sum of the parts. All of those people are pouring out their hearts and souls in perfect harmony, which is kind of an emblem for what we need in this world, when so much of the world is at odds with itself…that just to express, in symbolic terms, what it’s like when human beings are in harmony. That’s a lesson for our times and for all time.” John Rutter  (As transcribed from an interview “John Rutter: The Importance of Choir” featured on JW Pepper Blog on March 15, 2015.  Click here to view the interview video or read the full transcript.)
