The FIRST COAST HONORS CHOIR FESTIVAL

Saturday, January 31, 2026 | Deermeadows Baptist Church

The Jacksonville Children’s Chorus hosts the one-day event to honor students across Northeast Florida who have been recognized by their music educators for their singing ability, musical aptitude, and strong work ethic. The singers spend the day rehearsing with a nationally recognized clinician and conductor. The event culminates in a performance of the newly formed Honors Choir. Ensembles include a 4th-6th-grade Honors Choir and a 7th-9th-grade Honors Choir.
