We Are the Change 

Join us for We Are the Change, where the youngest voices of Boston Children's Chorus (BCC) take center stage to celebrate the power of leadership and advocacy. Through song and storytelling, our youngest singers highlight the remarkable journeys of youth leaders who have sparked change across the globe. From the courageous activism of Malala Yousafzai, to the impassioned climate advocacy of Greta Thunberg, and the inspiring literacy activism of Marley Dias, these stories serve as beacons of hope and inspiration. BCC has been delighted to partner with Chelsea Public Schools and we look forward to welcoming Chelsea’s young artists to the stage to perform on this special occasion. As these singers lift their voices in harmony, they will explore what it truly means to inspire change and uplift their communities. Together, let us embrace the belief that no matter our age, We Are the Change we wish to see in the world. BCC is going to Cambridge! First Church is a vibrant, multi-generational, engaged urban church located in Harvard Square. We are excited to be branching out into Cambridge this season after having been there a few seasons ago.  More information can be found at: <a href="https://www.bostonchildrenschorus.org/calendar/event/we-are-the-change">https://www.bostonchildrenschorus.org/calendar/event/we-are-the-change</a>
