Charles River Chorale Plans to
Come “Home for the Holidays”
The Charles River Chorale held
its first rehearsal for its thirty-second
year on Tuesday, September 13 at
7:30 p.m. We rehearse weekly at the
Church of Christ, 142 Exchange
Street (Route 115), Millis, and we
always have coffee and snacks available
by about 7 p.m. Members,
both old and new, are encouraged
to come early to socialize and prepare
for the night’s work. Rehearsals
generally end at 9:30 p.m.
We are a non-audition, secular
community chorus drawing
membership from throughout the
Charles River Valley, and performing
two major concerts per year.
Anyone who wants to sing is encouraged
to join us. Membership is
fluid for the first month; new members
are generally accepted only
during the first four weeks.
No musical training is required,
and Director Ashley Nelson will
work with new members to determine
the range at which their voices
and skills will be most successful.
Members pay dues of $60 for the
entire year (holiday and spring concerts)
and reimburse the chorale for
the cost of their music (keeping the
music). High school students are not
required to pay dues.
The Chorale’s December offering,
“Home for the Holidays,”
will feature Randall Thompson’s
Frostiana: Seven Country Songs,
specifically composed to put seven
of Robert Frost’s winter-themed
poems to music. The collection was
originally performed for the Bicentennial
of Amherst, Massachusetts
in 1959, and includes pieces for
male voices alone, female voices
alone and for four-part chorus.
They will also highlight the skills of
Susan Fortin, Assistant Music Director
and piano accompanist.
Other pieces will include “I’ll Be
Home for Christmas,” “Homeward
Bound,” “Bring Him Home (Les
Miserables), “Home (Beauty and the
Beast),” “Somewhere in My Memory,”
and “Home for the Holidays.”
The Chorale also performs outreach
to the community, including
sponsorship of the Charles River
Children’s Choir. The Children’s
Choir will also perform at the both
concerts.
Anyone interested in vocal performance
is encouraged to visit with
us on Tuesday evenings.
