There is no better way to understand the mission of the Boston Children’s Chorus than to let its artistic director, Anthony Trecek-King, describe it in his own words.
“We look at everything we do as a vehicle for understanding differences and working towards building a better society,” he said in a recent phone interview. He knows that that’s “awfully lofty of a thing to say,” but he believes it fully. “It’s what wakes me up every morning.”
Part of that mission consists in simply getting kids together — more than 500 of them, ages 7 to 18, from more than 120 zip codes across Massachusetts. They come together from different neighborhoods and backgrounds, which is an essential part of the BCC’s vision.
