The World Children's Choir serves as a voice for children worldwide — giving voice to the interests of all children, celebrating cultural diversity through music, promoting positive international relations, and asking people to work together to create a peaceful, healthy world for children. Through song, children of many cultures and nations come together. They sing of friendship, peace, understanding, and caring for one another and the planet; they sing of hope. Through singing, WCC members explore musical content, and use music, art, and special activities to mediate cross-cultural differences and become peacemakers. The children learn how music and art expresses emotion, creates shared experiences, bridges differences, tells stories, produces beauty and enriches others.

The World Children’s Choir is concerned about the children of the world and the future they face. By pursuing our mission we believe that we contribute to building a world of peaceful respect, friendship, cooperation, and prosperity among nations. We believe that working together to produce beautiful music and other kinds of art enables the children to create friendships based on mutual understanding and respect. By bringing children from many cultures and nations together in song today, we can sow the seeds of a more peaceful world tomorrow.

We believe that the world hungers for messages of hope, peace, love and joy. People’s hearts and souls are opened and their lives enriched when listening to and singing with the Choir. We believe that all children can learn to sing beautifully and can be inspired to creatively contribute to society throughout their lives. We believe that all children deserve the joy of creative self-expression, regardless of their social or economic conditions. We believe that through the discipline of these musical experiences, children can gain self-discipline, respect compassion for others, and a concern for the environment. We believe that working together to produce beautiful music will enable the children to create friendships based on mutual understanding and respect. We believe that by bringing these future leaders of nations together in song today, we can sow the seeds of a more peaceful world tomorrow. We believe that people who see and hear children of the world united in song will be reminded of their need to support children’s causes, and will hear our message that all of us are responsible for making the world a better place. We believe that world leaders whose hearts are touched by these children’s voices will pursue their important work with an even greater appreciation for what is possible when differences are set aside for a greater good. We believe that participation as a WCC singer, volunteer, or audience member helps transform individual and community attitudes, and expands capacities for friendship, love, compassion, tolerance, generosity, respect, and peaceful reconciliation.
