Women's Chorus Open Sing
Place: All Souls' Church, 29 South St., W. Brattleboro, VT (about 18 miles from Keene)
Price: Free
Ages: 10+
On Wednesday, February 29, Leap Day, from 7:00 to 8:30, an Open Sing will be offered at All Soul's Church as a kick-off to the spring session of the Brattleboro Women's Chorus. Any woman or girl over age 10 is invited to participate and learn songs that are easy to harmonize. The music will reflect this year's chorus theme of "Life's Little Lessons," songs of life, love, time, and change.
The regular spring session of Women's Chorus begins March 7, with rehearsals on Wednesdays from 7:00 to 8:45, and culminates with two concerts on Mother's Day weekend, May 12 and 13. Founder-director Becky Graber has been leading the chorus for 16 years as an opportunity for all women to sing and improve their vocal skills. No auditions are required, and it is not necessary to read music, as most music is taught by rote and by ear. Graber chooses songs that are full of meaning and beauty and often includes ones of her own arrangement. Mother-daughter rates and financial aid are available.
