Chorus concert to honor Horton

Posted

LIBERTY, NY — The Sullivan County Community Chorus (SCCC), under the direction of Kevin J. Giroux, will resume rehearsals Thursday, February 4 at 6:30 p.m. in the chorus room at the Liberty Middle School, 145 Buckley St. The chorus is preparing for its 39th annual spring concert, “A Choral Fanfare! A tribute to Lucille Horton,” to be performed at Immaculate Conception Church in Woodbourne on Sunday, June 12, 2016.

The performance will feature works by Mozart, George Gershwin, John Rutter, Randol Bass and others.

Horton sang alto, was a founding member of the chorus, a conductor, a long-time accompanist, treasurer, board member and a driving force for the continuation and improvement of the ensemble. She passed away at age 88 on December 18, 2015, having attended SCCC’s 39th annual winter concert five days previously.

The chorus welcomes interested singers. An ability to match pitch is essential and an ability to read music is helpful. Prospective new members are required to meet with Giroux on February 4 beginning at 5:30 p.m. for a series of vocal warm-ups designed to determine vocal range for placement in the appropriate section of the chorus, as well as to ensure an ability to match pitch.

Dues are $20, a one-time $10 deposit for new chorus music folders, and a one-time $15 music deposit. Call 845/439-4458.
