San Juan Children's Choir
The San Juan Children's Choir (Coro de Niños de San Juan in Spanish) is a children's choir from San Juan, Puerto Rico. The group was founded in 1966 by its director, Evy Lucío Córdova, whose founding members included Gloria Tristani, who went on to become the first Hispanic member of the Federal Communications Commission during President Clinton's Administration, and Giannina Braschi, the Puerto Rican writer who chronicles her experiences with Evy Lucío and the San Juan's Children's Choir in her novel "Yo-Yo Boing!"
The Choir usually accepts participants from the age of 6 and on. Auditions are held every year. Singers who participate at this institution leave at about age of 17 or 18.
The San Juan Children's Choir has performed live in Russia, China and other countries.
