Sing With Us
Our members come from all over the Upper Valley. We like challenging music, want to learn, and enjoy each other’s company. Our repertoire is incredibly varied. We sing works from many languages and cultures, from the renaissance through current day, including commissioning composers to write new works for us. We are an inclusive and friendly group, dedicated to presenting high quality choral performances throughout the region.
Auditions are light-hearted, warm, and simple. Competent singers from entry level through professional levels are welcome to audition. While the skill level of our singers is varied, know that this is not a beginner's group. You do not need to read music, though many of us do. Parts recordings are created to help all singers come to rehearsals prepared.
Rehearsals & Performance Schedule: We rehearse once a week on Tuesday evenings from 7:00-9:30pm at the UU Church of the Upper Valley in Norwich, VT. We start in early September until our concert in early December, and then begin our weekly rehearsals again in January through the May concert. We also schedule some special rehearsals to prepare for concerts. Singers are expected to attend all rehearsals and concerts.
Our director, Kevin Quigley, maintains a positive rehearsal atmosphere, a courageous approach to challenge, and a deep connection to community and artistic endeavor. Singing with us makes you a better singer. Each concert provides solo and semi-chorus opportunities to singers in the group as well as the pleasure of performing with talented Upper Valley musicians.
This is a member-run, mission-based organization ~ management tasks are handled by the members and there are dues.
