Raleigh Boychoir (USA)

 Thomas E. Sibley founded the choir in 1968 because of his concern about the lack of choral experiences and performance opportunities for boys whose voices had not changed. He believed a boychoir could be instrumental in developing and channeling boys' talents as well as giving them oportunities to perform great choral music. Thus the Raleigh Boychoir was established with 20 boys and $50 contributed by the Raleigh Woman'sClub.

 Since then, the Raleigh Boychoir has more than 80 boys. Recognitions have included 7 invitations to perform at the White House, at the World's Fair, at the First Flight Centennial, at the American Choral Director's Association Convention in Savannah, Georgia, and with the oratorio societies aross the state. The choir ha appeared with the North Carolina Symphony everal times. In 1994the choir accepte an invitation to paticipate with the International Children' Choir at Carnegie Hall and returned that same year from their European Concert tour.
