Arts Association in Newton County, Covington

After the Arts Association in Newton County found early success with its concert series in the late 1980s, the performing arts company started its first children's education program in 1991 to incorporate the entire community in their productions. Now, children who are part of the organization's Oxford Singing Children and Oxford Youth Singers choirs and Covington Regional Ballet appear in youngster-filled versions of classics such as Les Misérables and The Nutcracker. The company still nourishes ears with headphones made of bagels and live concert performances, including their long-running Concert on the Square and Summer Concert series.
