Red Rose Children’s Choir of Lake County and Lake County Boy’s Choir
Red Rose Children’s Choir of Lake County was founded in 1997 by Artistic Directors Sharon Augsburger and Jacquelyn Ault Negus. Since then, the choir has developed into a choral organization that has presented highly acclaimed performances in the greater Chicago area and around the world. In addition to performance opportunities supporting various Chicagoland charities, the choir has performed for corporate, sports, school, and church events. The Red Rose Children’s Choir has been showcased at choral festivals in England, Hawaii, Italy, China, Austria and the Czech Republic. In their performances, the choir seeks to provide various opportunities for singers to experience singing with different instrumentation. In 2014, the choir expanded by introducing Lake County Boy’s Choir. The Red Rose Children’s Choir continues to be supportive of local contemporary composers and the development of new music for treble choirs through the commissioning of new pieces.
Today, RRCCLC and LCBC consists of approximately 150 singers across six choirs (aligned to singer’s age and ability) as well as Hand Bell musicians.
