Founded by Ralph B. Woodward in 1979, the Salt Lake Children’s Choir has long been regarded as one of the finest ensembles of its kind in the nation. The choir consists of children generally between ages 8 to 15, from the Salt Lake Valley region.

Correct vocal development is emphasized through the study of the works of classical masters, as well as outstanding folk and contemporary music from around the world. A prize-winner in international competition, the choir has appeared with many internationally celebrated artists and organizations including: Grant Johannesen, Frederica von Stade, Marvin Hamlisch, Pete Seeger, and regularly with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Utah Symphony.

The choir has been featured at several conventions of the American Choral Directors’ Association and its singers have performed on multiple film soundtracks and on promotions for CBS, NBC and Walt Disney Productions and can also be heard on local and national classical radio broadcasts. Two former choir members are now appearing in leading operatic roles on the major stages of the world—with others pursuing a variety of careers in music.
