The ICC believes in the power of music education and that music and the arts play a vital role in the individual and social emotional development of young people and in making communities places where people want to learn, play, and live. Currently, in our 37^th season, we are the only professional children’s choral music program in central Indiana, allowing us to play a vital role in the cultural life of our community. Our reputation for artistic excellence regularly attracts local and national artists and arts organizations for collaborative performances and activities. We are firmly established in the central Indiana cultural landscape, presenting a Concert Season of public performances each year. We collaborate with orchestras, professional artists, and ensembles of the highest caliber. We are also a leader in the worldwide choral and children’s music education community, taking the initiative in curriculum development and making extensive contributions to the body of children’s choral music including the ICC Publishing House of digital music education resources.

Our mission of nurturing and inspiring student achievement through quality music education and the pursuit of artistic excellence in choral music performance represents a belief that all children and youth have the potential for exceptional artistry. We serve approximately 2,500 culturally diverse children and youth each year ranging in age from 18 months to 18 years who live in 20 counties and attend more than 200 different schools throughout central Indiana. Our choral programs are provided in eight different central Indiana locations.

Our In the City for A Global Community capital campaign will make it possible for us to have our very own headquarters – a first-time opportunity in the ICC’s 37-year history. We envision this new headquarters as a place where:

• Together, we will invest in Artistic Excellence.

  Together, we will build upon our commitment to nurture and inspire student achievement through high-quality music education programming excellence grounded in the belief that all children and youth have the potential for exceptional artistry carried out in state-of-the-art facilities.

• Together, we will ensure the ICC experience is Accessible to all children and youth.

  Together, we will enable singers of all backgrounds to flourish by keeping the ICC programs affordable and by providing a safe and inclusive environment that encourages singers to embrace their potential, express themselves boldly, and strive for excellence.

• Together, we are committed to Building Community to make a Global Impact.
  

  Together, we will expand singers’ access to diverse and enriching learning opportunities, and empower each singer to embrace their artistic excellence as they journey through the continuum of music education programs offered by the ICC. These skills will be necessary to address the complexities of a globally connected world.
