With the residency, CCC welcomed members of the former CCM Children’s Choir, founded in 1983 by Karen Wolff. The CCM Children’s Choir also had a rich history of performances and recordings with CSO and CCM and provided CCC founder, Robyn Lana, with her initial training in children’s choral conducting.
