The Red Rose Children’s Choir of Lake County was founded in the fall of 1997. The organization is comprised of four choirs involving over 170 children ranging in age from 7 to 18 from many communities in Lake and northern Cook County, Illinois. This tuition-based, auditioned choir exists for the purpose of educating and inspiring children to excel in the area of treble music and to enjoy its benefits. Artistic excellence is central to the choir’s mission. In recognition of the role performance plays in developing self-esteem and personal growth, the choir is dedicated to providing choral performance opportunities appropriate to each choir’s development level.

The Red Rose Children’s Choir of Lake County is dedicated to teaching children of all abilities, cultures and diversities, the dual joys of excellence in music and sharing their musical gifts with the community. The mission is to educate and inspire children to perform and appreciate fine choral music. The Red Rose Children’s Choir of Lake County is a not-for-profit organization.

“The Red Rose Children’s Choir is one of the leading children’s choirs of America. Having worked with this choir many times, I have found them to be very musical, engaging, moving and artistic. They sing with an unusual maturity of sound. Their energy and enthusiasm for music making is very contagious.”
