SUMMARY:St. Cecilia Chamber Choir holds auditions for their popular concerts "Lessons and Carols for the Christmas Season"
DESCRIPTION:St. Cecilia Chamber Choir is holding auditions for all voice parts as we begin preparing for our highly-acclaimed December 19 and 20 concerts of Lessons and Carols for the Christmas Season. Drawing inspiration from the world-famous King’s College Cambridge Service of Lessons and Carols\, our program blends carols both sacred and secular with seasonal readings\, accompanied by a professional string quartet and performed in the beautiful Bowdoin College Chapel and Damariscotta Baptist Church. Among the stellar selections this year will be Eric Whitacre’s ethereal setting of the Christmas poem Lux Aurumque\, and the 15th century Boar’s Head Carol. \nSt. Cecilia Chamber Choir is a fully-auditioned group of singers that includes talented youth and seasoned performers. The group performs the very finest challenging choral repertoire spanning the centuries from medieval to modern\, under the direction of the husband-and-wife team Linda Blanchard and Sean Fleming of Damariscotta. In the English choral tradition\, St. Cecilia sings with a straight tone\, enabling attention to fine-tuning rich harmonies. Much of the group’s repertoire is a cappella\, and it frequently is accompanied by a professional chamber orchestra. St. Cecilia presents two to three concerts per year\, typically in December and May. \nSingers wishing to audition should have good vocal control\, and sopranos and altos should be able to sing without vibrato. The ability to read music is preferred\, but those who cannot read may participate by spending extra time learning the music at home with the aid of provided practice materials. We strive for our audition process to be gentle\, welcoming\, and supportive. \nRehearsals are on Wednesday evenings at 6:30 PM\, starting on Sept. 9\, at St. Andrew’s Church at 11 Glidden Street in Newcastle. To schedule an audition\, call Linda Blanchard at 207-563-6160 or email audition@ceciliachoir.org. For more information about the Choir\, please visit facebook.com/stceciliachamberchoir and ceciliachoir.org.

SUMMARY:Join Sheepscot Chorus to sing Haydn's "St. Nicholas Mass" and other holiday favorites on December 5 and 6
DESCRIPTION:Sheepscot Chorus invites you to join us as we begin rehearsals on Tuesday\, Sept. 8 in Wiscasset for our Saturday and Sunday\, December 5 and 6 Boothbay Harbor holiday concerts\, featuring Joseph Haydn’s charming “St. Nicholas Mass\,” performed with orchestra\, and conducted by artistic director Linda Blanchard. \n“Missa Sancti Nicolai” was written for the Dec. 6 Feast of St. Nicholas nameday of Haydn’s patron\, Prince Nicolaus Esterházy\, and was one of the first vocal works that Haydn composed. The short mass setting has intimate\, cozy instrumentation and lilting melodies that call to mind Christmas and pastoral music. Haydn painted a picture of the shepherds in the fields with the warm and rustic sounds of folk instruments. \nHoliday pops favorites will round out the second half of the program. Co-director and accompanist Sean Fleming has a knack for bringing together top-notch musicians for our holiday pops orchestra\, sure to set toes tapping! \nRehearsals are lively\, challenging\, and rewarding. Chorus members range from newly-minted singers to seasoned performers. Singers are provided practice materials to use at home\, so singers can come to rehearsals feeling prepared and ready to go! \nThe Chorus rehearses on Tuesday nights\, starting with Tuesday\, Sept. 8 at 7:00 PM\, at the Congregational church in Wiscasset\, next to the Wiscasset District Court. For more information\, please contact info@sheepscotvalleychorus.org\, 207-563-6160\, or visit facebook.com/sheepscotchorus and sheepscotvalleychorus.org.
