BRATTLEBORO — The 20th spring session of the Brattleboro Women's Chorus will begin on Wednesday, March 2 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at 118 Elliot, and on Thursday, March 3 from 10 a.m. to noon at Centre Congregational Church on Main Street.
New and former singers are encouraged to join this spring as they prepare for a May concert of compositions and arrangements by the chorus founder and conductor, Becky Graber. The first two rehearsals are open to anyone who would like to come and check out chorus for the first time.
All women and girls over 10 are welcome, and there are no auditions. Reading music is optional since music is taught by rote and by ear with part recordings available. While many singers enjoy performing, some prefer to sing weekly and not participate in the concerts at the end of the session (Mother's Day weekend, May 7 and 8).
The fee for chorus participation is $110 for adults, family pairs are $170 and students are $60. Financial aid is available to make it possible for any woman to sing with them.
