Organization

With singing at its core and training in dance and drama, PALS Children's Chorus changes the lives of its children, building confidence, discipline, leadership and a love of music that will last a lifetime. Throughout its history, PALS has collaborated with internationally known ensembles including the Boston Symphony, Boston Lyric Opera, Boston Pops and Boston Early Music Festival. PALS choristers perform a wide range of repertoire, from classical, to world music, to gospel and new music and present an opera production every year. In addition to performances with the Boston Symphony, this season's highlights include the American premiere of Raoul Gehringer's opera "Moby Dick.” Founded 24 years ago as a non-profit organization, PALS serves 190 children, ages 6-15, from the Greater Boston area, regardless of their financial circumstance.
