The Celebration Singers Children's Chorus, formed by Tom Pedas in the fall of 1995, is one of very few tuition-free Children's Choir in the state of New Jersey. It was created to give children the opportunity to learn and perform music, ranging from light classics to Broadway show tunes. "We are a unique group in that the children's choir is an extension of the adult choir," said Pedas. Though there are many individual adult and children's choruses throughout New Jersey, no other children's chorus is sponsored by an adult chorus

"In Europe," explains Tom Pedas, "there are lots of opportunities for families to sing together in community choirs. We have that in this country, but not to such an extent."

Spring 2010 marked the fifteenth year for the Celebration Children's Choir. During this time, over 300 young people have received a wonderful tuition free choral experience and the opportunity to sing with the adult choir.

In the fall of 2010, the Celebration Singers welcomed Ms. Jennifer Sellman as the director of our Children's chorus.  Ms Sellman has had many roles within the Celebration Singers including assistant director for the adult choir, founder and director of the Young Women’s Ensemble, and accompanist for the various young people’s choirs during the Spring 2010 season. She continues to inspire the youth of our community sharing her passion for music each week.
