SUMMARY:Sheepscot Chorus to Sing "The First Nowell" by Vaughan Williams and other holiday favorites in December 2024
DESCRIPTION:  \nSheepscot Chorus invites you to join us as we begin rehearsals for our Sunday\, December 1 Boothbay Harbor holiday concert\, featuring Ralph Vaughan Williams’s “The First Nowell\,” performed with professional soloists and chamber orchestra. “I look forward to perform this heartwarming holiday piece for the community. We’re excited to get started!” says director Linda Blanchard. \n“The First Nowell” is a collection of carols written to accompany a nativity play\, and in addition to the title carol it includes carols such as “God Rest You Merry\, Gentlemen\,” “The Cherry Tree Carol\,” ” The Sussex Carol\,” and more. Vaughan Williams biographer Stephen Connock wrote about the appeal of the work: “Vaughan Williams’ Christmas music in its freshness and warmth speaks directly to the heart. It is music to be played and cherished on Christmas Eve\, at home\, near the fire\, with children safe and all at heart’s-ease.” \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 high-energy and challenging. “We work hard\,” says Blanchard\, “but we keep the rehearsals upbeat and fun.” Chorus members range from newly-minted singers to seasoned performers. We provide practice materials to use at home\, so singers can come to rehearsal feeling prepared and ready to go! \nThe Chorus rehearses on Tuesday nights\, starting with our first rehearsal on Tuesday\, Sept. 10 at 7:00 PM\, at the Congregational church in Wiscasset\, next to the Wiscasset District Court. For more information\, please send a message to info@sheepscotvalleychorus.org\, leave a message at 207-315-9740\, or visit facebook.com/sheepscotchorus and sheepscotvalleychorus.org.

SUMMARY:St. Cecilia Chamber Choir holds auditions
DESCRIPTION:  \nSt. Cecilia Chamber Choir is holding auditions for all voice parts as we begin preparing our December “Ceremony of Lessons and Carols” concert. 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. \nSt. Cecilia Chamber Choir is a fully-auditioned group of singers that includes talented youth and seasoned performers. We perform the very finest challenging choral repertoire spanning the centuries from medieval to modern\, under the direction of husband-and-wife team Linda Blanchard and Sean Fleming of Damariscotta. In the English choral tradition\, we sing with a straight tone\, enabling attention to fine-tuning rich harmonies. Much of our repertoire is a cappella\, and we frequently are accompanied by a professional chamber orchestra. We present two to three concerts per year\, typically in December and May. \nWe’re a dedicated and friendly bunch\, eager to welcome new members\, and we especially encourage gifted students to audition. Rehearsals are high-energy and challenging. “We work hard\,” says Blanchard\, “but we keep the rehearsals upbeat and fun. We provide practice materials to use at home\, so singers can come to rehearsal feeling prepared and ready to go!” \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. \nRehearsals are Wednesday evenings at 6:30 PM starting on Sept. 11\, at St. Andrew’s Church on Glidden Street in Newcastle. To schedule an audition\, call Linda Blanchard at 207-315-9740 or email audition@ceciliachoir.org. For more information about the Choir\, please visit our website at ceciliachoir.org.
