About The Concert

Get ready for an unforgettable afternoon of beautiful, joyful, and inspiring music as the Roanoke Valley Children’s Choir takes the stage for their 38th Annual Spring Concert!

This year’s performance will open with our beloved tradition of “Come and Sing,” featuring all 130 of our combined choristers singing together. For over 20 years we have opened the Spring concert with this inspiring message, “we are friends forever when we sing together”.

The program features an eclectic mix of classical music, multicultural pieces, popular songs, Broadway, movie themes, hymns, gospel, patriotic, and a cappella harmonies. The concert also features songs in several languages; including French, Latin, German, Spanish, Zulu, and English, celebrating diverse musical traditions from around the world.

At the 1:30 PM concert, our youngest “Little Singers” choir (ages 4-6) will charm the audience with two playful songs all about animals at the zoo, dressed up as their favorite animals! We love introducing our youngest singers to music in a way that they can have so much fun with. Get ready for a cuteness overload!

Our Elementary choirs will be connected by rainbows, inspiring everyone to follow your dreams, with the “A Choir” singing Over the Rainbow and the “B Choir” singing Rainbow Connection. And our Youth “B+” Choir is doing a fantastic job learning and developing their musical skills preparing for their own performance of both classical and gospel style music.

A favorite highlight of the show is the performance by the RVCC Concert Choir! These advanced High School singers will be performing challenging and diverse repertoire with rich 4-part harmonies and beautiful tone, also adding in rhythmic choreography on “Las Amarillas” and an African-inspired dance to a new style of song, “Never Too Late” from the 2019 Lion King movie.

Together all the combined choirs will be singing the fun and popular song, “Best Day of My Life”, featuring new choreography with colorful ribbon streamers. Another standout moment of the concert will be our Broadway medley from Grease! The choir will be singing several songs from the movie featuring theatrical stage choreography, special costumes, and dancing! Many thanks to theater professional, Kevin Jones, for designing and teaching the stage choreography to our singers.

Adding to the magic, the full choir will be accompanied by talented musicians: A string quartet with members from the Roanoke Symphony Orchestra, Julee Hickox playing flute, and accompanist Carla Crouse on piano.

Join us for an inspiring afternoon of music that promises to be moving, joyful, inspiring, and unforgettable. We can’t wait to share this musical celebration with you!
