The Concert Singers are a group of people from the communities of Greater Lynn who enjoy singing, and welcome others with similar interests to join them. No audition is required, and annual dues are minimal ($20/year, plus the cost of the music).
Concert Singers invites new members!
Have you ever considered joining a community chorus that requires no
auditions, no extensive musical experience, and very low annual dues?
The Concert Singers announce the winter-spring rehearsal schedule for 2012. The
opening rehearsal is Tuesday evening, January 3, 2012, at the Unitarian-Universalist Church in Swampscott, 101 Forest
Avenue, near Swampscott Middle School. No auditions are required, just a
willingness to attend rehearsals in January, February, March and April. January
3, 10, 17 and 24 are “open rehearsals,” during which the public is invited to
come in and try the music, meet the director and the chorus, and decide on
whether they wish to sing in the two concerts. Our performances will be held on
Friday, May 4, at 8:00 p.m. in Swampscott, and on Sunday, May 6, at 2:30
p.m. in Lynn. After January 24, the membership will be closed until
September 2012. Dues are minimal, as is the cost of the music.
The May program consists of the well-known Mozart
Requiem, accompanied by orchestra with a quartet of professional
soloists. We will include a world premiere by local composer Javier Marquez
entitled “Cantata Domino,” dedicated to conductor William C. Sano, who is
celebrating twenty-five years of leadership of the chorus. Second half will
feature a guest appearance by the women’s‘ a capella chorus “Calla Lily,” under
the direction of Valeria Peterson. Both choruses will combine in a grand finale
of American spirituals to end the spring program.
If you need directions or more information please call chorus
member Margaret Oleson at 781-639-4558 or Music Director Bill Sano at
978-744-4787.
