Spring concert season
Sing With Us
Join us for an inspiring spring season of choral music centered around Dan Forrest’s Requiem for the Living, our featured major work. This powerful contemporary piece offers emotional depth, expressive text, and rich harmonies, making it a meaningful and rewarding experience for both singers and audiences.
All voices are welcome, and we are especially hoping to welcome more middle voices this season to help strengthen balance and blend within the ensemble.
The second half of the program will offer a lighter contrast with a thoughtfully selected mix of styles. While the full repertoire is still being finalized, it will include works such as If Music Be the Food of Love, Cielito (in Spanish), familiar selections from Broadway, and excerpts from The Testament of Freedom.
Rehearsals begin January 6, with open rehearsals during the first four weeks, allowing interested singers to experience the ensemble before committing. Season dues are $45, due by January 27.
Concerts will be held on April 30, May 2, and May 3.
We welcome singers who value musical growth, collaboration, and the shared experience of making meaningful music together.
Interested?
We invite you to take the next step and join us for the upcoming season. Registration is open to all singers, and open rehearsals during the first four weeks provide a chance to experience the music, the ensemble, and the rehearsal process before committing.
