Mission, Vision & Diversity Statements 

The Kettering Children’s Choir (“the Corporation” or “KCC”) is a choral organization whose mission is to educate the talented young singers of the Miami Valley and to build an appreciation for musical excellence.

The Kettering Children’s Choir will be known throughout Ohio as a premier vocal ensemble and choral school, with structured musical training, high quality standards of artistic performance and music appreciation. Participation of a diverse population of talented school-aged singers will be sought from throughout the Miami Valley region, offering opportunities for

• Growth in vocal technique;

• Experience and performance in ensemble choral singing at the highest artistic level;

• Exposure to multicultural repertoire as well as established literature;

• Regional and international travel related to performance; and

• The creation of a “singing heart” in each child.

The Kettering Children’s Choir is committed to fostering, cultivating, and preserving a culture of diversity, inclusion, and acceptance. As an organization, we embrace what makes each of our singers unique. Singers explore diversity in both membership and repertoire performed. We believe our differences (age, race, ethnicity, disability, creed, sexual orientation, or gender identity) bind us together, make us stronger, and provide opportunities to build personal friendships with others outside of our community. All singers and staff members have a responsibility to continually treat others with dignity and respect, and all are expected to exhibit conduct that reflects inclusion and acceptance.
