It’s that time of year again! The Old North Festival Chorus and Orchestra will hold their first rehearsal on Wednesday, Sept. 24. Registration begins at 7 p.m. and rehearsal starts at 7:30 p.m. The 45th annual Festival Chorus Holiday Concerts will be held Dec. 6 at 8 p.m. and Dec. 7 at 8 p.m. at Old North Church, 35 Washington St.
Rehearsals will happen every Wednesday, 7:30-9 p.m. until the concerts. (Rehearsals may run longer closer to the concert dates.) Musical selections for the Holiday Concerts include Joseph Haydn’s, “Missa in tempore belli,” John Rutter’s “When Icicles Hang,” and other seasonal favorites.
Singers are not required to audition but are expected to have experience; high school students — grades nine through 12 — are encouraged to join. All participants will be required to purchase the music provided at registration (unless scores are already owned) in addition to a nominal registration fee. More info at oldnorthfestivalchorus.org.
