Since the first temporary inception in 2014, Shin Shin Children Choir has participated in Shin Shin annual meetings and 2015 “Dream Youth” large fundraising charity performance. The children’s lovely chorus made profound impression to audience, so as to become Shin Shin’s reserved program. January 21, 2017, 30 children participated in the 3rd Panda Art Festival. They wore ethnic minority costumes, singing the Panda Art Festival theme song “Panda Song”, and received the Festival gold award. The choir was also invited to participate in a series of cultural activities in collaboration with various art groups in the Bay Area. In October, the choir will also perform for Shin Shin 20th anniversary celebration. In order to develop the choir better, and allow the children to learn chorus and grow up systematically, we decided to formally establish the Children Choir, and make it as a long-term choral group. We will have classes every week, teach children chorus. There are many high-quality performance opportunities for the children to display their capabilities, and participate in public welfare.
