The El Reno Community Chorus is preparing for its upcoming concerts, Songs of Hope, Peace and Comfort, to be performed Saturday, Nov. 21 at 7 p.m. and Sunday, Nov. 22 at 2:30 p.m.

Over the summer, our long wait for a new home was realized when we were able to finalize arrangements with St. John Nepomuk Catholic Church in Yukon.

When we could no longer rehearse at Redlands Community College in El Reno because of new hours and fees, we searched for a place where we could rehearse and perform with our own piano and which would also house our music library.
