Sheepscot Chorus invites you to sing Mozart's masterpiece, “Requiem,” with professional soloists. "There’s something special about being able to share such a towering masterwork with our community. We’re excited to get started!" said Director Linda Blanchard.
The Chorus resumes rehearsals on Tuesday, Jan. 16 at 7 p.m. at the First Congregational Church, 23 High St. in Wiscasset, next to the Wiscasset District Court. Rehearsals will continue on Tuesdays in preparation for the concerts on April 27 and 28.

The Mozart “Requiem” has been performed many times over the centuries, but it still has the power to move the listener. Of Mozart, Joseph Haydn wrote to Mozart's father, "Before God and as an honest man I tell you that your son is the greatest composer known to me either in person or by name; he has taste, and, furthermore, the most profound knowledge of composition." Richard Wagner said, "The most tremendous genius raised Mozart above all masters, in all centuries and in all the arts." Tchaikovsky wrote, "Mozart is the highest, the culminating point that beauty has attained in the sphere of music."
Sheepscot Chorus rehearsals are high-energy and challenging. “We work hard,” says Blanchard, “but we keep the rehearsals upbeat and fun.” Chorus members range from newly-minted singers to seasoned performers. We provide practice materials to use at home, so singers can come to rehearsal feeling prepared and ready to go!
