Concert Singers Open Rehearsals

              
CONCERT SINGERS ANNOUNCE THIRTY-FOURTH SEASON!

This fall the Concert Singers
will begin their thirty-fourth season by rehearsing French composer Cesar
Franck's monumental Mass in A Major. 
The holiday concerts will also feature “A Boy is Born” as a tribute to Benjamin Britten's 100th
anniversary year, J. S.  Bach's popular “Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring”, “O Holy Night” by Adam, arrangements of
familiar Christmas carols, a selection of works devoted to the Hanukah season;
and a few choral surprises!  The
fifty-voice chorus will be accompanied by flutes, strings, harp, and professional
soloists.  The two holiday performances
will be held on Friday, December 6th in Swampscott and Sunday, December 8th in
Lynn.

No auditions are required, just a
willingness to attend rehearsals in September, October and November.  Rehearsals, beginning September 3, are held
every Tuesday evening from 7:30 to 9:30 pm at the Unitarian-Universalist
Church, 101 Forest Avenue, Swampscott, MA. 
September 3, 10, 17 and 24 are “open rehearsals,” when you may meet the
director and fellow singers, and try out the music with no obligation
whatsoever.  Membership dues are modest,
and each singer only pays for his/her music. 
After September 24, no new members will be admitted until January 2014
when preparation for the spring concerts begins.

The Concert Singers is conducted
by William C. Sano, long-time faculty member of the Marblehead Public Schools,
and instructor of “Season at Symphony” in Swampscott.  Sano is also a pianist and organist, and
teaches for the Salem State “Explorers.” He holds music degrees from
Baldwin-Wallace College in Ohio, and the New England Conservatory of Music in
Boston.  The accompanist is Margaret J.
Dee, retired music teacher in the Danvers Public School System.  Miss Dee is also organist for Our Lady of the
Assumption R.C. Church in Lynnfield.
