Do you need one more piece of quality music for your spring concerts? Why not consider something from the Great American Songbook. Let's be sure our singers have exposure to the wonderful catalog of songs heard on stage and screen during the first half of the 20th century. Much of this repertoire has all the accepted characteristics of art music, making it appropriate for inclusion in choral concert performances.

Join us on Saturday, December 10 for the 16th annual Spirit of Christmas from 9:30-5:30 in Old New Castle. Tour a historic home, shop our unique stores, enjoy our restaurants, sing carols and if you like, join us for an impromptu "Hallelujah Chorus" at 12:30 pm. A quick rehearsal will be held at 11:30 am on the Green behind the Court House. Bring your score or sing from memory! Church choirs, school choirs, and individual singers are all welcome, but don't tell "the audience." For more information, contact Kathleen Shannon at kathleenmshannon@gmail.com.
