MANHATTAN — The McCain Performance Series presents the Flint Hills Children's Choir at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 4. Under the direction of Janie Brokenicky, the choir is celebrating its 10th anniversary season and will present "Happy Holidays from the Little Apple," featuring members of Bates Dance Studios, the Manhattan Youth Symphony, Bryan Pinkall. Dave Lewis will serve as master of ceremonies.
The Flint Hills Children's Choir provides excellence in choral music instruction and performance for children and enrichment in the arts for the Manhattan and surrounding communities. Based in Manhattan, the choir was founded in 2015 by longtime colleagues and friends Janie Brokenicky and Janet Armstead.
The first choir, composed of 28 fifth- through ninth-grade singers, quickly expanded to two treble-voiced choirs spanning grades three to 10. With membership now at more than 100 students, the singers represent the communities of Clay Center, Manhattan, Olsburg, Riley, Saint George, Wamego and Westmoreland. Flint Hills Children's Choir is open to students from any community and educational background. Scholarships are available to families with financial need, thanks to sponsor generosity.
