Children’s Chorus of Collin County

The Chorus is an auditioned group of boys and girls comprising superior musical and vocal skills, enthusiasm for choral performance, and a strong desire to be a part of a growing group of talented youth. Each of the three choruses are broken up by grade level and also have their own conductor. Jennifer McKee conducts the Prelude choir (grades 3–5); Janie Oliver conducts the Children’s choir (grades 6–8); and Emmanuel Espiritu conducts the Youth choir (grades 9–12).

This group of multi-talented children and youth amazes and astounds audiences with their special talents. Within the group, there are budding songwriters, talented instrumentalists, actors who perform regularly in their community theaters, and many talented soloists who perform individually in local and even national settings. The Children’s Chorus of Collin County is led by Artistic Director and Co-Founder Janie Oliver, and is sponsored in part by the City of Plano.
