Upcoming Events

​Plano Civic Chorus presents a timely performance of inspiring works of hope and inspiration entitled  “Let Hope Be Heard” featuring the Plano Chamber Chorus. From W. A. Mozart to Charles Villiers Stanford, Eriks Esenvalds to Eric Whitacre, the program will feature classic and contemporary choral pieces designed to lift the audience's spirit from the weight of the world. The concert will also feature guest soloist Jay Majernik on marimba, as well as two world premieres: Ubi Caritas by Chicago composer James Stephenson, and A Courageous Heart by Debra Scroggins, Composer in Residence for the Plano Civic Chorus. Join us for this inspiring concert Saturday evening, March 6th at 7:30 either as part of our socially-distanced audience at Christ United Methodist Church in Plano, TX, or in the comfort of your own home via live-stream.

A Salute to 2020

The year 2020 was a difficult one for the performing arts community. Like most musical organizations, Plano Civic Chorus was unable to perform their spring 2020 concert and the rest of the scheduled season. However, with the support of Christ United Methodist Church in Plano, we had the good fortune of being able to perform a portion of our scheduled season, using a reduced-sized choir and following strict social distancing protocols. We would like to share with you highlights from these performances and recordings and thank you for your support of our organization through this difficult time. We are optimistic for the future, and look forward to making music for you again soon!
