Mission
The Greater Cincinnati Choral Consortium was founded August 25, 2013 with representatives from 26 choral organizations present. The planning committee presented a mission statement, core values, and goals developed over a period of about six months. A group of nine volunteers, eight of whom were on the planning committee, volunteered to serve on the Board of Directors.
