MOBILE’S SINGING CHILDREN
Founded in 1977, Mobile’s Singing Children (“MSC”) has been the premier youth chorus on the northern Gulf Coast. Performing choral music of the highest quality drives our children and teens toward excellence in song, spirit and studies. Organized into four age and skill appropriate ensembles, MSC provides opportunities for a diverse group of dedicated music students. Headquartered in Mobile Al, students are drawn to the program from many locations within a 60- mile radius. “MSC” performs regularly with Mobile Opera and Mobile Symphony Orchestra. Over its 39 year history, MSC has performed in hundreds of venues including the White House, Governor’s mansion, Carnegie Hall, Kennedy Center, and appeared on National Public Radio’s “From the Top”. Our performances for the 2015 -16 season include Veterans Day with Mobile Pops Band, Governor’s mansion, Annual Christmas Concert at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Mobile, and a spring performance with the Mobile Symphony Orchestra. We are honored to be a part of the 2016 AMEA Conference.
Now in her eleventh year as director of Mobile’s Singing Children, Susan Hoitt has dedicated her career to the education of young musicians. She earned a Bachelor of Music Education degree from the University of Southern Mississippi, with a dual emphasis in choral and instrumental music before serving eight years as the Choral Music Director and Assistant Band Director of Moss Point (MS) High School. After her marriage to John Hoitt and relocation to Mobile, AL, Susan taught elementary music in the Mobile County school system. Susan has also served as Director of Children’s and Youth Music at Christ United Methodist Church and Director of Music at Forest Hill United Methodist Church. She is currently Coordinator of Children’s Choirs at Spring Hill Presbyterian Church, serving for nine years. Susan and John have two daughters, Katie and Leigh, both attending the University of Southern Mississippi.
