|
The
Blair Concert
Chorale Children's Choir was formed in 1995 as a tuition-based children's
choir to expose, educate and develop youth between the ages of 8 and 14 to
classical music. The choir consists of up
to 30 children age 8 to 14 from Blair County and surrounding areas under the
direction of Jen and Scott Pappal. New members to the children's choir must
audition, however they do not re-audition annually.
The children's season consists of two concerts:
a Christmas concert in December with the adult chorale and a concert in the
spring. They perform in venues such as the Mishler Theatre and area churches. In
addition to the concerts, the choir participates in local arts events & performs
with other groups. In addition, they perform the national anthem at the Altoona
Curve and conduct an annual mini-tour to six local elementary schools where they
perform at assemblies.
