October has arrived and with it comes the sound of music flowing out of the Chester Methodist Church building where the Chester Community Chorus has been fortunate to practice and hold its concerts for many years.
Chorus practice is held on Sunday afternoons and Tuesday evenings beginning on Sunday, October 3.
The Many Sounds of Christmas concert will feature music in several languages and will be supported by different kinds of accompaniment including electric guitar, violin, trumpet, bongos and piano.
The youngest singer this season will be six year old Niki Duval, of NEWGEN, who will be singing a solo. Besides the chorus, other ensembles include Kindred Spirits, mixed quartet, and the Handbells.
Replacing the Chorale this year will be a newly formed group of singers who will tackle the most difficult music. Auditions are necessary for this group but not for the chorus itself.
Performance dates are Friday and Saturday, December 3 and 4th at 7 pm and Sunday, December 5th matinee at 3 pm. Those interested in singing can call Director Elsie Wesley at (530) 284- 1750 or e-mail her at mrscgwesley@hotmail.com. New singers are always welcome and appreciated!
