As the year draws to a close and we gather with the people who mean the most to us, we’re reminded of the joy and connection that music creates. At Hamilton Children’s Choir, we see that joy every week on the faces of singers as they discover their voices and more about themselves, in the pride of families watching their children grow, and in the resonance our performances bring to the wider community.

 

With 50 years of music-making behind us, we’ve learned that lasting strength comes from a community that stands with us. This holiday season, we ask you to consider supporting HCC by becoming a monthly donor. 

 

Monthly gifts, no matter the size, are deeply impactful to charities, and you would be surprised how far even a small monthly gift can go. Donations of just $10 a month, an amount most of us barely notice leaving our accounts, provide us with steady, reliable support throughout the year. That consistency allows us to plan confidently, support our artistic staff, create programming that is inclusive and accessible, and offer bursaries to ensure that any child who wishes to sing with HCC can do so. 

 

For you, $10 might be the cost of a single lunch or a couple of coffees.

 

But for us, $10 each month means:

  • A child gets the uniform pieces they need to belong on stage.
  • A new tuning fork for a teen honing in on their musicianship.
  • A family facing financial barriers can say “yes” to joining the choir.
  • Our singers can continue learning, growing, and sharing their voices throughout the year.

 

No matter their size, monthly donations provide the stable foundation that keeps HCC strong. Like the choir itself, our strength grows when many people come together in support.

 

As you reflect on your holiday giving this year, we hope you’ll consider becoming a monthly supporter of Hamilton Children’s Choir. Your generosity directly shapes the experiences of young singers, and together, we can ensure every child who wants to make music has the chance to do so.

 

Thank you for being part of our community, for believing in the power of children’s voices, and for helping us create music that brings light and joy all year long.

 

With gratitude and warm holiday wishes,

 

Hamilton Children’s Choir

  • Sarah Davis, Alumna
    I credit being part of the choir assisting me in my career path, giving me confidence in front of groups of people and giving me the ability to be successful and grow quickly in my roles.
    Sarah Davis, Alumna
  • Alyssa LeClair, Alumna
    What the HCC does best is give people who are feeling like they don’t belong a place to express themselves, and as a young artist… that’s truly invaluable.
    Alyssa LeClair, Alumna
  • Nathan Fledderus, Chorister
    Through the HCC, I’ve made so many strong friendships and advanced musically to a level I never thought I could. The HCC is a safe learning environment in which choristers and director learn more than just music, which is brought together by a common goal.
    Nathan Fledderus, Chorister
  • Ardra Shephard, Alumna
    The ways in which my years as part of the HCC have affected my life and who I am today are too manifold to count. HCC was the most influential experience of my teenage years and I am incredibly grateful for it.

  • Erica Charles, Alumna
    There’s a perfect balance of discipline, work ethic, fun, and creativity that’s encouraged within this group. You learn how to pull together as a team: both musically and intellectually. You succeed alongside one another. You encourage each other’s highs and are there for one another for the lows. You literally learn how to breathe together: what could be more magical than that?
    Erica Charles, Alumna
  • Sophia Brohman, Chorister
    When I joined the HCC, suddenly there was a whole room of people who felt the exact same way I did when I was singing.
