Our Story
Founded in 1990 in Charleston, West Virginia, the Appalachian Children's Chorus (ACC) began with a vision to provide children with unique musical experiences. Under the direction of Selina Midkiff, the choir started as the University of Charleston Children's Chorus with just 12 members. Over the years, ACC has evolved, changing its name in 1996 to better reflect its regional identity. In 2003, it was honored as the official Children's Chorus of West Virginia. With a rich history of community involvement and numerous awards, ACC continues to inspire young artists through exceptional music education.
