The Roanoke Valley Children’s Choir, now in their 35th year of excellence, offers an in depth pre-professional choral program of 3 training choirs and a Concert Choir for youth ages 7-18. Founded in 1987 by Kimberly Ruse Davidson, the Roanoke Valley Children’s Choir has grown to be a highly respected arts organization in the Roanoke Valley, in the state of Virginia, and beyond. The choristers, ages 7-18, are chosen through audition and are divided into three Training Choirs and a Concert Choir. The RVCC provides an artistic and in depth study of the voice in a choral setting. We strive to teach young musicians of the Roanoke Valley how to work together and pursue excellence - in singing, in music, and in everyday life. Our mission as a choir is to provide the best choral experience for our choristers and spread the joy of music to everyone we can! 

The new “Little Singers Class and Choir”, directed by Ms. Kirsti Davidson is a choral introduction for our youngest singers, ages 4-6.

Recent featured performances for the RVCC Concert Choir include the 2008, 2014, and 2020 Southern Division American Choral Director Conventions, the 2015 ACDA National Convention in Salt Lake City, a solo performance at Carnegie Hall in 2016, solo and festival performances in Canterbury Cathedral in 2011 and 2017 and as the solo Liturgical Choir at the National Cathedral in 2019.

Southwest Virginia Ballet (SVB) is a 501c3 in their 31st season teaching and performing in the Roanoke area.  They have many performances and collaborations with area non-profits throughout their seasons but are best known for The Nutcracker at the Berglund Center every December – Virginia’s Blue Ridge Holiday tradition!  Their mission is to make the performance arts experience available to children ages 7-18 from all walks of life through full-length productions of varied repertoire including classical ballet, contemporary, and new works.  SVB provides, FREE OF CHARGE, the highest quality pre-professional training possible to young dancers and promotes cultural enrichment and awareness of the art of dance.  SVB is committed to offering outreach opportunities for under-served and at-risk children and adults from across Southwest Virginia. www.svballet.org

Come and enjoy the start of the Holiday Season with the premiere artistic excellence of these two non-profit arts organizations, dedicated to enriching the lives of youth and our community; the Roanoke Valley Children’s Choir, and Southwest Virginia Ballet. A collaboration that celebrates the very best of our youth and the arts!
