On Friday morning, June 26, at 10:00 a.m., the Alaska Children’s Choir will perform as part of their Lincoln Bicentennial Tour at President Lincoln’s Cottage. The brief a capella performance (lasting approximately 20-30 minutes) will take place in the outdoor amphitheater adjacent to the Robert H. Smith Visitor Education Center. No reservations or tickets are required to view the performance.
The Alaska Children’s Choir, founded in 1979, is dedicated to excellence in music education and choral singing, offering 5th-12th grade Southcentral Alaskan children the opportunity to train and perform at some of the highest artistic standards locally, nationally, and internationally. Each summer, a component of the full choir, the “Touring Choir,” travels on a concert tour. The group has performed world-wide in such places as Canada, the United States, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. This year’s Lincoln Bicentennial Tour, entitled “Voices of Hope and Peace” will be presented in Washington, D.C. and several venues in Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Maryland.
