The FIRST COAST HONORS CHOIR FESTIVAL

At the Jacksonville Children’s Chorus, we are preparing for the impact of reduced arts funding following the passage of Amendment 3. We anticipate a funding loss of $90,000, with reductions beginning soon. This is a difficult time for our organization and for many nonprofits across Florida.

In 2027, we will need to pause several programs, one of which is the First Coast Honors Choir Festival. We hope to restore this program when funding is available to support them.

We will continue the work we have proudly done for more than 30 years: bringing a world-class children’s chorus to our community.

As painful as these changes are, our mission remains unchanged. Our young performers’ voices will continue to resonate throughout the community. The kids in the red jackets will sing on.
