Over the years the Fairfield County Children’s Choir has been invited to join numerous adult choirs and orchestras for various programs. For the first time in our 29 years, we decided to invite an adult group, The Fairfield County Chorale, to be our guests. In 1996, our second season, the Fairfield County Chorale was the first organization to invite the FCCC to collaborate in a concert.

The FCCC has performed throughout New England (Boston, Cape Cod, Tanglewood, Burlington, Hartford) as well as in New York (Carnegie Hall, Avery Fisher Hall, Madison Square Garden & West Point), Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., New Orleans, San Francisco, Oakland, Hawaii, Colorado, Arizona, Canada, England, Ireland, Austria and the Czech Republic.

Tickets are $15 – $45 and a Livestream option is available. Tickets will be available soon at theklein.org
