ABOUT PLANO CHAMBER CHORUS Recognizing the need for a non-professional chamber choir in the area, the Plano Chamber Chorus was formed in 2017 as an opportunity for highly experienced singers of the Plano Civic Chorus to perform a diverse repertoire of new and traditional music composed for the smaller ensemble. The group will perform two to four songs at each Plano Civic Chorus concert during the 2023-2024 season. |
