History

The Children's Chorus was founded in the fall of 1988 by Director John Fleischman, Jr. to provide talented young singers with a challenging performing experience, in a higher level learning situation. Standards of excellence are pursued through self-discipline, confidence, respect and enjoyment of quality choral music. Emphasis is placed on proper vocal technique, breathing, music reading, and interpretation.
