JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (October 2026) – The Jacksonville Children’s Chorus (JCC) has released its 2025–2026 Annual Report, highlighting a milestone season of artistic achievement, educational opportunities, and community impact as the organization celebrates 30 years of inspiring young voices.
During the season, JCC served 1,535 children through its year-long choirs and outreach programs, presented 38 performances at 30 venues worldwide, and reached 19,805 audience members. The organization also recorded more than 13 million virtual impressions, extending its reach well beyond the concert stage.
Accessibility remains central to JCC's mission. During the fiscal year, 28% of year-long singers received full or partial scholarships, totaling $28,938 in tuition assistance. JCC continues its commitment to ensuring that no child is turned away because of financial circumstances.
Season highlights included the Touring Choir's international Winter Tour to Italy, featuring a performance at St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City, and recognition of President and Artistic Director Darren Dailey's 20 years of leadership.
Looking toward the future, JCC established the Jacksonville Children's Chorus Endowment Fund, hosted and managed by The Community Foundation for Northeast Florida, to help sustain exceptional music education for generations to come.
The 2025–2026 Annual Report reflects JCC's ongoing commitment to developing young musicians, strengthening community connections, and showcasing Jacksonville's artistic excellence.
