As The All-American Boys Chorus proudly embarks on its 55th Anniversary Year, we are embracing the spirit of celebration and community with several exciting activities and initiatives designed to bring everyone closer together. From fundraisers to reunions, there’s something for everyone as we honor our legacy and look forward to a bright future.
This year marks a big milestone for The All-American Boys Chorus: Our 55th anniversary! We’re thrilled to celebrate not just our legacy, but the incredible future that lies ahead.
The journey of the Chorus has been one of transformation. From a small barbershop choir performing at Shakey’s Pizza Parlor to an internationally recognized, Emmy-winning ensemble, our story has been built on faith, dedication, and the generosity of supporters like you.
In 1977, George Hoag, a visionary and philanthropist, saw something extraordinary in the AABC. With a single gift, equivalent to over $520,000 today, he enabled the Chorus to grow into a world-class institution. His generosity gave thousands of boys the opportunity to develop discipline, confidence, and leadership through music, and has made an impact that continues to resonate today.
Now, as we celebrate our past, we look toward a bold future. We’re ready to take the next great leap forward, but we need your help to make it happen.
Your support will help us:
- Expand our staff to enable us to increase membership to reach more boys from diverse backgrounds.
- Enrich our programs with individual voice lessons, advanced music theory, as well as college and career preparation.
- Update essential concert equipment, uniforms, and repertoire.
- Create life-changing opportunities like collaborations with the L.A. Philharmonic and launch an international choral festival.
- Establish a permanent AABC headquarters and performance hall, creating a home for choral excellence.
Will you help us make 2025 the year that the AABC Thrives?
Your gift, whether large or small, is an investment in our boys, our community, and our shared future. Let’s ensure that the AABC continues to inspire, transform, and thrive for decades to come. The boys deserve it. Our alumni deserve it. And the countless boys waiting to discover us deserve it, too.
Thank you for believing in the power of music and in the vision of what the All-American Boys Chorus can achieve.
With gratitude,
Aaron Cassaro
Chief Executive Officer
The All American Boys Chorus
