Discover Delmarva Arts: Salisbury Children’s Choir to perform in Magi Fund Concert

SALISBURY, Md. –The holiday season is a time for giving, and the Salisbury Children’s Choir is helping spread that message through music.

The annual Magi Fund Christmas Concert brings the community together for an evening of holiday performances, while also supporting those in need on the Eastern Shore.

“They’re singing mostly holiday music, some Christmas music, and we’re doing some patriotic music, too. We’ll combine with the National Christian Choir to sing some songs with them and then the kids will be doing some of their own,” Co-director of the Salisbury Children’s Choir Anne Binkley said.

“Bringing those two choirs together is a really unique thing, watching them work on the stage, and being able to be part of a really big event is wonderful,” Co-director Tim Binkley said.

It’s all to support the Magi Fund, a nonprofit that raises money for the Joseph House and the Christian Shelter, two organizations working to support the poor and homeless of Delmarva.

“It is such a joy for us to be part of the Magi Fund Concert. . . This concert gets to benefit our community in the best way at the best time of the year,” Coordinator Tabatha Miller said.

But the Salisbury Children’s Choir does more than just lend a hand to local nonprofits — they open up children to the world of music and voice, bringing together children from all walks of life.

“I think they enjoy being together and making music. We have kids from all walks of life. We have kids from private school, public school, home school, kids that would maybe not ordinarily get to see each other in their everyday walks of life. They get to see each other, build friendships, build trust, build community, and then make music and become better musicians,” Anne Binkley said.

The Magi Fund concert is on Saturday, November 14th at 3 PM. To purchase tickets, visit https://magifund.com/
