Reviews
I can't begin to describe how dedicated and professional this group is. Talent is off the charts. This is not a group that stands in formalwear with music in their hands singing the kind of music that puts you to sleep. This is a polished, rehearsed group of music lovers that works hard to bring you the most popular, most engaging music ever sung in northern California. If you haven't seen one of their performances, this is the time to sample them!

"Talent is off the charts!"
On this evening the Placer Pops Chorale & Orchestra brought a heaping cupful of Christmas cheer. It is a professional choir in all aspects: pitch, blend, tone,
flexibility, spirit…
As the lights rose, the wonderfully costumed singers decorated the stage with a Dickensian look, and then their voices brought the image to life. (The singers provide their own costumes, so the variety is delightful.) There was also
a short, totally instrumental piece.
Wow! The orchestra was grand!
When the music stopped, I felt like I had attended the perfect Christmas concert.
