Voices for Children Festival
Washington DC • June 22 – 26, 2007
Rehearsals for Festival Ensembles (Chorus, Dance, Drumming, Orchestra, & Theater): June 19 – 22, 2007
The World Children's Choir believes in a world of hope and promise where, when everyone stands side by side, anything can be accomplished. WCC invites children and teens of all cultures and nations to come together to sing of friendship, peace, understanding, and caring for one another and the planet. We invite you to share your culture, your country's history, and your art in whatever form it takes. Together we will sing of hope, dance, play drums, play, talk, and make friends. WCC believes that miracles happen — that it is possible to build a world where children are protected and provided with health care, nutritious food, clean water, education, and opportunities for artistic expression. We invite you to join in our song and the dream. Let us work together to build a peaceful, healthy world for all children.
