South Bay Children’s Choir
Where children come to SING
and stay to BELONG
An organization that began in 1996, we have been providing children in the South Bay with a quality music education that allows them to grow artistically while creating friendships that last a lifetime.
Where young voices and community grow together.
Joining the South Bay Children’s Choir offers so much more than music. It builds confidence as kids shine on and off the stage, fosters real friendships, and teaches focus in a fun, supportive setting. Through creativity and joy, children find their voice and a sense of belonging in a vibrant community. They grow not just musically, but emotionally and socially, developing strong character and communication skills. Best of all, they create lasting memories that stay with them for a lifetime.

“SBCC has established itself as a premier children’s choir with national & international recognition. Dr. Jane Hardester’s legendary choral magic of beauty & excellence was the vision & mission upon which this organization was formed. Over the past two decades, this legacy was impeccably & repeatedly accomplished under the gifted & visionary leadership of conductor and co-founder Diane Simons. Our El Camino College choral department & the Fine Arts Division is privileged to keep this musical tradition alive & well in our midst. We hope that the South Bay community will continue to support SBCC’s cultural efforts in creating exhilarating concerts & educating our future generations in the choral art for another 20 years.”
