About RMCC : General

Who sings with RMCC?
RMCC includes 300 girls and boys ages 6-18. Over 1000 children have participated since the beginning of RMCC.

Since its first performance in December 1996, RMCC has prioritized its mission to actively recruit and retain children from culturally and socio-economic diverse backgrounds: 40% of the choir is children of color and approximately one-half of all choir members receive some form of financial assistance.

There are seven progressive choirs, providing opportunities for all ages, abilities and experience. Children audition for membership in a supportive, inclusive atmosphere.

Each singer learns to:

  • negotiate a choral score
  • sight sing music and read rhythms

  • commit to working as a team
  • celebrate musical achievements
  • strive for personal bests
  • gain respect for and understanding of cultural differences, and

Who leads RMCC?
Our conductors are accomplished musicians who hold impressive academic credentials, formal musical training and a wide array of experience.
