Newton Community Children's Choir is launching "Prelude Choir," a non-auditioned, beginner-level choir for second- to fifth-grade students. The purpose of the new choir is to build a love of singing in younger students and start developing their musical skills.

The program will include 10 weeks of 30-minute choral sessions with director Jill Siebert, the choir teacher at Chisholm Middle School and artistic director of NCCC. The choir will meet on Monday evenings from 5:45-6:15 from Feb. 10 through April 21 (except March 17 during spring break) with a performance during the NCCC's April concert. The enrollment cost is $100.
