Season VIII

Our first rehearsal is on Sept. 17 on the Rochester University campus. Generally, we plan to meet on the first and third Sundays of each month through the year. Though we are less worried about COVID, than we have been in recent years, please stay away from rehearsals if you have symptoms. We have online resources that will allow you to rehearse on your own, or you can schedule a special session with the director.

We have enjoyed seven great seasons of rehearsing and singing in a variety of venues, and we look forward to our new season in the Fall of 2023, which will include virtual and face-to-face options. We are also excited about welcoming new singers to our group and getting to know them, including current students at RU. Please visit the registration page for more information.

Concerts for this season:

Over the summer, we gave a concert on June 10 in the Slater-Montgomery Family Chapel in Lake Norcentra Park on the campus of Rochester University. We have decided that this will become an annual tradition to hold an outdoor concert in this space. We are planning for a repeat of that concert on June 8, 2024. Our repertoire for the year will include these, plus several new pieces we will add:

We Walk in Love – Witkowski

Cleft for Me – Greig

Saints Bound for Heaven – arr. Shaw-Parker

Go Ye Now in Peace/w 7-fold Amen – Eilers/Lutkin

We will be joining choral organizations in the greater Rochester area for the annual Rochester Community Christmas Concert at St. Andrew Church in Rochester on Dec. 3 at 7:30 pm. This annual tradition has welcomed our group for over 25 years. We will prepare a couple of Christmas selections for our part of the concert, and will also learn and perform the Hallelujah Chorus from Handel’s Messiah with the other choirs in attendance.

Other concerts and singing opportunities may present themselves during the season, which we will embrace as we can. Please visit our page Book a Concert to request a concert in your church or other community venue.
