NEW!  BEDFORD COMMUNITY CHORUS, Directed by Katherine Parker
The Bedford Community Chorus is a new, non-auditioned choral ensemble that seeks to bring the joy of singing to its members and the community as well as to provide opportunities for fellowship and relationship building among members.  The ensemble will rehearse a variety of repertoire from classical, jazz, pop and world music genres.  We will perform at community events as well as two annual concerts (winter and spring).  The group is open to anyone over the age of 12 who possesses a love of singing, regardless of experience!  In order to participate, members must commit to attending 80% of rehearsals and performing in concerts (community event performances are optional). Rehearsals will not take place during school vacation weeks.  Wednesdays, 10/3 – 1/23 (no rehearsal 11/7, 11/21, 12/26) 6:00-8:00pm.  Rehearsals held at Bedford High School.  Fall Session Membership Fee  $120.00.  These dues will cover the cost of sheet music, ensemble accompanist and performance venue usage.  Winter concert date will be available at registration time.
