Submitted by The Concord Women’s Chorus
The Concord Women’s Chorus (CWC) is holding open rehearsals to begin its 2015-2016 season. CWC is a 60-voice, auditioned ensemble and draws members from twenty Boston-area communities. The chorus is conducted by Artistic Director Jane Ring Frank with Scott Nicholas, pianist.
Regular rehearsals are held on Tuesday mornings from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. at Trinity Episcopal Church, 81 Elm Street, Concord, MA. The 2015-2016 season begins with open rehearsals on September 8th and September 15th at 9:15 a.m. Auditions for all voice parts will be held at the conclusion of rehearsal on Tuesday, September 15. The audition consists of scales, ear and pitch memory exercises, and sight-reading in order to evaluate musical skills and abilities. A prepared piece is not required, but prior musical experience is expected.
While rooted in classical choral music, we explore a diverse body of repertoire, written expressly for women’s voices. We perform two concerts a year: December 19, 2015, 3:00 p.m., featuring Porpora’s “Magnificat” with string ensemble and Saturday, May 7, 2016, featuring Chilcott’s jazz mass – both concerts presented at Trinity Episcopal Church in Concord.
CWC is a welcoming group of women who enjoy singing and learning excellent, challenging repertoire and performing at the highest level.
