STEUBENVILLE — The African Children’s Choir is celebrating its 40th anniversary during a U.S. tour that will stop in Steubenville, marking four decades of transforming lives through the power of music, education and hope.

As members embark on this milestone celebration, the choir will bring audiences heartwarming performances of popular children’s tunes, traditional spiritual songs and vibrant African cultural pieces.

Composed of children ages 8-11, all from vulnerable backgrounds across Africa, the African Children’s Choir serves as a powerful testament to the resilience and potential of Africa’s future leaders.

Each child in the choir has faced significant hardship, often with limited access to education. Yet, through the choir, these children gain life-changing opportunities for education and personal growth, becoming beacons of hope for their communities.

“The African Children’s Choir proves just how powerful music can be,” said choir Manager Tina Sipp. “These concerts not only provide hope and encouragement to our audiences, but they offer the children life-changing experiences that help shape them into future leaders.”

In honor of this special 40th anniversary, the choir invites communities to experience its performances and be part of its mission to bring hope through music. No tickets are required, though donations are appreciated to continue the choir’s impactful work.

The choir will perform at 6:30 p.m. Oct. 28 at Sycamore Youth Center, 301 N. Fourth St., Steubenville. For more information, visit africanchildrenschoir.com.
