Performances and Tours

One of the ways we are able to provide opportunities for our singers to “develop musicianship and experience musical excellence” is in providing many varied opportunities to perform. We do this through concerts, community events, special performances and touring.

Spring 2016 Highlights:

Over 250 young people from 10 ensembles joined forces for our 4th Annual Collaborative Choral Festival.  Not only did we get to sing with guest conductor Rosanne Lamb, but also got to meet and sing for composer Marta Keen.  She composed our closing theme song of the concert:

This project was funded, in part, by a grant from the Nevada Arts Council, a state agency, and the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency.

Over 40 CCCC members sang their way through Nevada, Utah, Arizona, and New Mexico in April.  It was an amazing experience and the best tour we have EVER taken.

 

Some Highlights of 2013:

CCCC on NBC

CCCC was invited to perform with Kelly Clarkson onstage for the final number of the 2013 Christmas Special, Kelly Clarkson’s Cautionary Christmas Music Special – to watch it, click here. Our part is near the end of the story.  Our singers got to experience working with professional musicians on and off the stage.  They worked with RAab Stevenson, vocal coach and so much more to many stars, and had to opportunity to do a recoding session in a professional recording studio.  The singers also got to act as extras on set as part of the show.  The kids were amazing both in their talent and their professionalism – they wowed everyone who met them.

Fall 2013 was filled with fun performance opportunities

All CCCC Ambassadors were invited to sing the National Anthem at a Las Vegas Wrangler’s Hockey Game.  December 2nd, select Ambassadors from Crescendo sang with the Las Vegas Philharmonic at the Reynolds Hall in the Smith Center, while Cappella singers caroled in the lobby as a pre-show.

Our premier Children’s Choir Festival was amazing

Spring 2013 season and its ending festival were like no other.  May 18th we presented our first ever Children’s Choir Festival, hosted by the Clark County Children’s Choir and held on the UNLV Campus.  Dr. Bruner, our guest composer, conducted a special workshop with all the participating choirs in this year’s festival.  He also directed two of his own pieces, “A Song to End All War,” and the world premier of, “An Irish Blessing” during the evening’s concert.  To learn more about Dr. Brunner, please visit his website, davidbrunner.com.
