Andover Choral Society holds open rehearsals

Andover Choral Society, directed by Michael Driscoll, invites those who enjoy singing choral music to attend open rehearsals from 7:20 p.m.-9:30 p.m. on Monday, February 4 and Monday February 11 at Christ Church, 33 Central Street in Andover. All voice parts are welcome.

On Saturday, May 4, 2019, at 3 p.m. the chorus will perform "Abraham Lincoln Walks at Midnight" by Florence Price. Price was the first African-American woman to be recognized as a symphonic composer and to have a composition played by a major orchestra. The piece is a musical setting of a poem by Vachel Lindsay. The chorus will also perform a medley of songs by George Gershwin.

High school juniors and seniors are invited to sing with the Andover Choral Society through the Society’s Choral Scholars Program. The program is free to students from any town if they are currently in good standing in their high school chorus.

Andover Choral Society is a community chorus dedicated to bringing high-quality choral music to the Merrimack Valley community. The chorus performs two concerts per year, with a repertoire that focuses on fine choral and choral-orchestral works from the Baroque era through the present day. Since 1929, membership has been open to anyone with a love for choral music and a desire to share that love with others. Visit andoverchoralsociety.org for more information.
