Rehearsal Dates for Fall 2019:
We rehearse on fourteen evenings each season to prepare for our concerts. All rehearsals are held in the rehearsal room at the Porter Center. Fall rehearsals begin Tuesday, August 27th with a reception at 6:30 p.m. and rehearsal starting at 7:00 p.m.
If you missed our first session, you still have two chances to join for fall 2019. Attend September 3 and 10 starting at 7:00 p.m. to hear this magnificent new composition, “Christmas Oratorio,” by Bob Chilcott. On December 12, we will present the North American premiere of this new masterwork, and we hope you will be on stage with us!
Prospective singers may attend the first three full rehearsals (typically 90 minutes) before committing to sing for the entire season and holiday concert. There are no auditions to join the choral society. Please contact us (see below) for more information.
