About the Choir
The SCC Touring Choir with 50+ singers ranging in age from 14 to 17 and directed by Mrs. Arlene Jacobs represents the most advanced singers from the Summit Children’s Choir Program based in Akron, Ohio (USA). This quality vocal music education program for children of all ages was established in 1991 based on the Kodaly philosophy of attaining musical literacy combined with the teaching of sound vocal technique. The members of the SCC Touring Choir have grown steadily into an artistic unit which is recognized throughout Ohio and beyond. In recent years they have been involved in performances of such large scale works as Bach's Christmas Oratorio and Mendelssohn's Elijah. The singers have appeared as part of international music festivals in England, Hawaii, China and Italy and most recently collaborated with the China Children’s Choir, the Hawaii Youth Chorus and two other American ensembles in an international children’s choir festival in China which included a series of concerts in Beijing, Hangzhou, and Shanghai. This June, they are going to experience their first independent concert tour outside of the U.S. giving concerts in Austria, Germany and the Czech Republic.

Mrs. Arlene Jacobs holds Bachelor and Masters degrees in Music Education from DePauw University (Greencastle, Indiana).
