Kids of Note presents a terrific opportunity for children to sing for a large, appreciative crowd, have a lot of fun and make lifelong friends. Our model of integration is rare in our culture, so our choir offers an extra-unique and unforgettable life experience for everyone who participates. We hope you’ll join us!
