Calhoun County Civic Chorale

announces fall season

 

The Calhoun County Civic Chorale will begin its new fall season by joining forces with Jacksonville State University A Cappella Choir to perform Part I of Handel’s Messiah. Chorale rehearsals will begin on Monday, Sept. 8, at 7:15 p.m. in the Performance Center of Mason Hall on the JSU campus. Rehearsals will continue on Monday evenings until the concert on Sunday, November 16, 2008 at the Church of St. Michael and All Angels.

 

The Calhoun County Civic Chorale is under the direction of Dr. Patricia Corbin, JSU Director of Choral Activities, and is one of five choral ensembles sponsored by the JSU David L. Walters Department of Music. Its membership includes people of the community, as well as JSU students and faculty. Chorale members are singers who have voices that can blend well with others, are able to learn their individual vocal part from written music, and enjoy singing classical choral masterworks. New members are always welcome.

 

The first rehearsal is a “New Member Open House” where interested singers may come and experience the chorale without further obligation. After this open house, those interested in joining the Chorale for the semester may do so for $33, which includes the cost of music.  JSU students interested in participating in the Chorale for college credit should register for Chorus, MU 196 or MU 396.
