In the twentieth century, as a result of the invaluable experience accumulation of outstanding choirmaster-practitioners and composer heritage, the formation of a professional branch of children's choral art and amateur-level groups, the theoretical and methodological and educational processes of "opening the childhood", children's choir performance is singled out in an independent form with its own specific learning, timbre -sound complexes, repertoire, functional and symbolic signs, acquiring today the status of the full part of the artistic thesaurus. The research is devoted to the study of specific aspects of the children's choir functioning as a performing phenomenon. The general scientific and special methods are used, including aesthetic, historical-culturological, synthesizing, musicological. The position of scientific novelty is the detection of phenomenological features of children's choral singing, in particular, in the musical-performing aspect. Conclusions: from the point of view of performing, in particular the initial heterophony, choral order, the formation of "merging" unisons from many individual voices and their correlation in choral polyphony, the chorus embodies the features of synergism, and from the point of view of the organized (by a ritual, a regent, a conductor) choral sound is an emergence. The children's choir is synthesized in a "complicated combination": the emergent properties of collective creative action, the general-choral cultural-artistic continuum with an additional line of specific-musical endangered development-formation, and the inherent features of the child's image of the world with its "logical" jumps, associations, transformations, game intentions, permanent renewal, "angelic" sincerity-purity of thoughts and voice timbralities, forming another series of emergetic, productive outputs. All this determines the phenomenological status of the children's choir as a performing phenomenon, a specific emerald integrity, an autonomous artistic unit, an educational-training paradigm, a cultural sign.
