About

The Soul Children of Chicago is a 30 year old internationally acclaimed, Grammy Award winning, youth gospel choir. Walt Whitman developed this world-class performance group with a single purpose: to utilize music as a motivator and catalyst to inspire young people throughout the world to have faith in themselves, each other, and God. After 30 years, their performances continue to be powerful, magnetic, and inspirational. They have performed for the White House on multiple occasions, the most recent being for President Obama’s Inaugural celebration.  They have performed all over the world with artists such as Academy Award winner Jennifer Hudson, Whitney Huston, Mariah Carey, Stevie Wonder and Yolanda Adams, just to name a few. To this day, The Soul Children of Chicago continue to serve the community as a non-denominational, non-profit educational organization dedicated to enhancing the lives of our youth.
