Boston Children's Chorus was honored to be a featured performer in Massachusetts Remembers, an event commemorating the 10th Anniversary of the terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2001.

The 2-hour tribute event included readings, poems, interfaith prayers and a musical program performed by the Boston Pops Brass Ensemble and BCC. Massachusetts Remembers also served as the culmination for the Beyond the Bike Ride, where riders began their journey at Ground Zero in New York and arrived in Boston for the start of the event. A community service area on site displayed dozens of non-profits and charitable causes created by 9-11 family members, as well as other community based non-profits, enabling the public to learn about and engage in ongoing service. Also prominently on display was a giant mural of the American flag created by Massachusetts school children shortly after September 11th. The mural, half the size of a football field, is comprised of over 50,000 individual red, white and blue 6 inch tiles of fabric, each possessing a message of peace, hope and patriotism.

The event was sponsored in part by WCVB and WBUR. WCVB's video recap of the event can be found here. WCVB's CityLine also dedicated a segment of its weekly show to the event. Click on the sidebar to watch our Artistic Director Anthony Trecek-King's interview on the show.
