BRATTLEBORO — The Brattleboro Women's Chorus welcomes new members to sing with them either virtually or in-person. They will be singing on Thursdays this spring, starting with a Zoom “Open Rehearsal” on Thursday, March 17, from 6:30 to 8 p.m., after which singers may register to continue singing via Zoom or join one of their in-person rehearsals.
In-person rehearsals begin on March 24 and will be held either Thursday mornings at the Brattleboro Music Center from 10 to 11:30 a.m., or Thursday evenings at All Souls Church from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Proof of vaccination and singers' masks with a filter or N95/KN95 masks are required for in-person rehearsals this spring.
Zoom rehearsals will take place weekly on Fridays from 10 to 11:30 a.m. We hope to conclude our season with an outdoor concert in June, but you do not have to participate in the concert to sing in chorus.
Musical Director Becky Graber chooses an eclectic mix of music from around the world that is spirited, uplifting and easy to learn during these challenging times. Recordings and some videos are available to practice with between rehearsals.
The Chorus welcomes anyone ages 10 and up who identifies as a woman or non-binary, and whose vocal range comfortably includes the A in the middle of the treble staff.
For those who decide to join, the cost for the spring session is a sliding scale of $80 to $150 per adult with discounts for students and family pairs. Financial aid is available. Links to online registration and more can be found at www.brattleborowomenschorus.org.
