Evanston Children's Choir: Story Choir
The Musical Offering is excited to host Evanston Children's Choir's Story Choir in Winter 2025!
About Story Choir
The Evanston Children's Choir is thrilled to return to The Musical Offering with one of our most popular programs! Everyone loves a good story, and it's even better when you can sing along with it. Each session will feature songs and narration from one story, either from a popular movie or other classic tale. This group is geared towards grades 1-5, and no audition is required. Each session runs 9 weeks, which includes a performance for parents and families on the last day. It's like a mini musical without tech week! Winter Session Story is Moana.
