The Neighborhood Church of Palos Verdes Estates will present the the Touring Town Choir of the Phoenix Boys Choir, taking place at 415 Paseo del Mar, Palos Verdes Estates, CA on Sunday, May 15, 2016 at 4:00PM.

The program will consist of choral music from the last four centuries, as well as African and Native American pieces. Popular repertoire will be included as well, featuring music from favorite Disney movies and animated features.

The Phoenix Boys Choir, recognized nationally and internationally, has been in existence over 60 years.
