The Newton Community Children’s Choir (NCCC) was founded by Norma Preheim and is entering its 32nd season. The choir seeks to inspire students’ passion for singing. Members are provided the opportunity to experience excellence in the learning and performance of choral music. Mrs. Preheim’s granddaughter, Jill Siebert, is our Artistic Director!
In addition to concerts, the choir regularly performs at events throughout the community, providing enrichment for the arts in Newton, Kansas and surrounding towns, and some years takes a trip beyond the Newton area.
