Upcoming Events

Because the Western Plains Children’s Choirs wanted and deserved a final time to sing together and in appreciation and honor of our graduating seniors, the WPCC and Western Plains Opera Company offer the following song that “resounds so strong.”  It brings “a message of mercy and Hope for Broken Wings.” 
WPYE - Virtual Performance

All three choirs have several concert opportunities throughout the year.

Depending on your ensemble, performances may include Hostfest, Winter and Spring concerts, retirement homes, and tours to area schools.
