AMERICAN PASSPORT

Journey through a World of Music

The Children’s Chorus is celebrating our Fifth Year Anniversary with a series of spring concerts that will focus on the cultural diversity of our group.  This event will celebrate the multi-talented children and youth whose membership in the Chorus reflects the many nationalities and cultures that are represented throughout Collin County.  The  singers will dress in ethnic costumes which will reflect their own personal heritages and backgrounds.   The music will feature international folk songs sung in native languages, which will be enhanced by the use of traditional instrumentation and dance.
