About this episode
The Chicago Children’s Choir started in 1956 in Hyde Park by a local Unitarian minister who wanted to give kids something to do, and teach them about serious music history. In its 65 years, more than 50,000 young people have performed with the choir, which has recorded with Chance the Rapper and performed for the Dalai Lama. After a year off the stage, these young singers are coming back to perform in person. We talk to artistic director Josephine Lee and alumna Sydni Hatley, who performs on the choir’s recent studio album.
