ABOUT THE AUSTIN CHILDREN’S CHOIR
Founded in 1986, The Austin Children's Choir includes three graded choirs with members ranging in age from 5 to 18 years old. Their mission is to enrich the lives of Austin-area children with the joy and discipline of high-quality choral singing. The vision is to provide the Austin music scene with the unique sound of a well-trained children's choir. The Choir offers many public performances and are not directly affiliated with or sponsored by any religious organization and are proud to be the oldest and finest choir of our kind in Central Texas.
The Austin Children’s Choir is a non-profit organization formed as a gift to this city by former Concordia University Professor of Music Dr. Bernard Gastler.
