Wilmington Children's Chorus

Organization Mission:

The Wilmington Children’s Chorus (WCC) is dedicated to ensuring all children, regardless of their socioeconomic status, have access to high-quality musical education. The only tuition-free community children’s chorus in the nation, our mission is to empower young people to change their world through music. WCC gives our youth the opportunity and tools to excel while infusing Wilmington’s neighborhoods with music.

The Wilmington Children’s Chorus is Delaware’s only tuition‑free, community children’s choir—serving more than 750 young people and families each year with high‑quality music education, mentorship, and transformative performance opportunities. Since 2002, WCC has been a place where children from every neighborhood, background, and ability level come together to learn, grow, and lift their voices in harmony.

Why your support today matters:
DoMore24DE is our most important community fundraiser of the year. For 24 hours only—6 p.m. March 5 to 6 p.m. March 6—your gift fuels the programs that keep WCC accessible to all:
  • Free, high‑quality music education for children across Wilmington
  • After‑school programs and in‑school partnerships that reach students where they are
  • Performances and community events that celebrate our city’s diversity
  • A safe, joyful space where young people build confidence, leadership, and belonging
Your gift goes twice as far:
A group of generous supporters has created a matching pool, doubling every dollar donated until we reach our goal of $25,000! That means your contribution today has twice the impact—helping us reach more children, strengthen our programs, and ensure that cost is never a barrier to participation.

Join us in meeting this moment:
Your support during DoMore24DE helps sustain a program that changes lives through music. Together, we can reach our $25,000 goal and keep WCC strong for the next generation of young singers.
About Wilmington Children's Chorus

The Wilmington Children’s Chorus name has become synonymous with excellence: excellence in singing, excellence in performance, and excellence in education. A multi-cultural children's choir, WCC gives youth the opportunity and tools to excel while enriching the community with the unique sound and spirit of children’s voices. WCC involves over 500 singers, ages 1-18, in five different performing ensembles, three Neighborhood Choirs, an early childhood music program, and many summer camps. They regularly collaborate with the region’s top arts organizations and engage in international exchanges with young musicians from Wilmington's Sister Cities. Since 2002, WCC has provided this high-quality educational program for youth without the burden of tuition or membership fees.

The WCC faculty are respected professionals with a wealth of experience in music education, voice pedagogy, and performance. WCC interns assist the staff by providing mentoring to younger choristers while gaining valuable leadership and education experience.
