Children’s Choir of Chico opens its 14th concert season with a musical collage showcasing its choirs performing songs that express feelings of joy, longing, fun, and celebration.
 
This afternoon concert will begin with a performance of “The Star Spangled Banner” and a tribute to Francis Scott Key, as our nation celebrates the 200th birthday of his penning of these now famous lyrics.  American folksongs will delight the audience as singers perform in much the same manner as would have happened in the 1800’s, complete with folk dance moves.   Selections composed by Gabriel Fauré and Peter Cornelius will bring a depth of artistic performance to listeners.  Rousing gospels and Broadway musical selections will create a light, family-friendly afternoon.
