The Midcoast Community Chorale (MCChorale), under the direction of Steven Weston, will be newly instituted as an audition-only choir, with its own rehearsal night and schedule of performances.

This offshoot of Midcoast Community Chorus (MCChorus) is in response to the extensive growth the organization has enjoyed over the past 10 years with the intention to better meet the evolving needs of the singing community. Midcoast Community Chorus will continue its mission as an non-auditioned chorus open to all persons who want to sing with the usual two performances a year.

Auditions for Midcoast Community Chorale (MCChorale) will occur at the First Congregational Church, 55 Elm Street, Camden, and are scheduled from Feb. 9 -16. Interested singers may visit www.mccsings.org and proceed to the link for MCChorale auditions to sign up at available times in the audition schedule. The website also has information for audition preparation, expectations, and results.

Artistic Director Steven Weston will open the semester for MCChorale with rehearsals beginning Thursday, Feb. 28 from 6-8 p.m. at the First Congregational Church in Camden.

MCChorale will provide their repertoire in multiple performances scheduled on the weekend of June 1 in different Midcoast locations.
