I was shocked to find out that The Frederick Children's Chorus has been around since 1985! Fortunately, I was able to sit down with their Assistant Director Lee DuBose Fuhr to talk about the Chorus' history and future.

Their mission is to make sure that every child can sing more. Everyone can use more music in their life, and this is a group of people that are working hard to make this happen. Give this episode a listen to find out how they work with kids from 3 to 18 years old!

You can hear examples of the chorus before and after this interview, but nothing can truly capture hearing them live. Their next big show is the 23rd Messiah Sing-Along at The Weinberg Center.
