Summer Chorus–Request for Singers for Dvorak Concert

Music on the Hill is inviting choral singers to join us Tuesdays/Thursdays in July to prepare for our Summer Chorus concert on July 25. No auditions are required; rehearsals and performance will be at Wilton’s St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church.

This is the 17th year we are offering a great choral occasion for people who enjoy singing and whose regular choir/chorus may be taking the summer off. Come meet new people and enjoy a wonderful singing experience, with strings, brass and timpani accompaniment. Please register by June 30, via email.

We will be singing Dvorak’s Te Deum and his Mass in D, which are not frequently performed and yet lovely–he wrote them in anticipation of his move to NYC in the early 1890s.

The Summer Chorus of 60-plus voices meets each July to rehearse and perform a major choral-orchestral work. Participants–music professionals and skilled amateurs–include members of church and community choirs, high school singers, and those looking for a choral home. The Summer Chorus provides an opportunity for choral singers to perform a major work in summer when most choruses do not meet, and it gives singers a chance to get to know others from many area towns and choruses.
