洛城西區中文兒童合唱團 (West LA Chinese Children's Chorus)是由作曲家與兒童音樂教育專家王靜宜音樂博士於2016年創辦。多年來致力於傳唱經典台灣歌曲，推廣中文歌謠，以及演唱世界名曲。團員透過音樂與各式的演出，不但接受中華文化的洗禮、領略中文歌曲之美，更愛上表演藝術。我們提供團員專業且多樣的展演平台，於正規音樂廳如Royce Hall與Colburn School表演，每年更於大洛杉磯地區有數場演出: 包括參與UCLA春晚、世界日報所主辦與中國節慶相關的表演活動；亦經常回饋社區，於當地小學、圖書館 、養老院等地義演。
合唱團分設兒童與成人合唱，為無數孩子與成人奠定良好的音樂基礎並豐富其生活。
兒童合唱團: 招收四歲以上的兒童，透過音樂陶冶兒童的性情，強化語言能力。課程除用中文教唱經典中英文歌曲，更融合奧福等教學法，以活潑生動的方式用中文教導孩子認譜、歌唱技巧、培養孩子基本的節奏感與音感，於啟發孩子音樂素養的同時也培養其耐性、自信心、團隊精神與對音樂的感知能力。
成人合唱團:以正確的發聲法，在吐氣吸納間引出健康、正向、充實的人生

Since its establishment, the West LA Chinese Children's Chorus has accumulated about 30 performances across various venues in the Greater Los Angeles area, such as the UCLA Royce Hall, Colburn school, and the Martin Luther King Jr. Auditorium in Santa Monica, among others. They were also invited several times to perform in Chinese New Year Festivals and Mid-Autumn Festivals hosted by World Journal, the largest Chinese media corporation in the United States.
With Dr. Wang's long time efforts in actively promoting Chinese culture through music, the Chorus have partnered up with the LA city library and City of Santa Monica hosting Chinese Lunar New Year festivals in West LA. The Chorus members not only gain music and language skills, but experience culture and the transformative power of music.
