Sheepscot Valley Chorus begins their 34th season when rehearsals commence Tuesday, Sept. 9, 7-9 p.m. at the Wiscasset Congregational Church.
With a long history of community music making, the chorus welcomes and encourages new singers to join us. Singers interested in participating should call director Linda Blanchard at 207-380-2768, or simply come to the first rehearsal, voice at the ready.
Our major works this fall are the beautiful and lively “Magnificats” (Song of Mary) of baroque composer Francesco Durante and classical composer Franz Schubert. (“The Durante” has been attributed erroneously to Pergolesi, a student of Durante), so music lovers may be familiar with the work under Pergolesi’s name. Singers will enjoy working on these works together, as the differences between the baroque and classical settings are quite striking, with much variety.
The second half of the program will include a mixture of classical works and lighter holiday fare.
Sheepscot Valley Chorus is directed by Blanchard with accompaniment by Sean Fleming, both of Damariscotta.
The chorus will perform their concert Sunday, Dec. 7, as part of the Harbor Lights Festival in Boothbay Harbor.
The Wiscasset Congregational Church is located at 28 High Street in Wiscasset.
