MONTICELLO, NY — The Sullivan County Community Chorus has resumed weekly Thursday rehearsals from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Monticello High School, 39 Breakey Avenue, Room 700. The chorus, under the direction of Kevin Giroux, with accompanist Keira Weyant, is preparing to present its 38th annual Winter Concert, scheduled to be performed at 2 p.m. on Sunday, December 14 in the Immaculate Conception Church, Woodbourne.

The chorus welcomes all interested singers to attend rehearsals. An ability to match pitch is essential, and it is helpful if singers are also able to read music. Prospective new members are encouraged to attend three rehearsals prior to October 9 and have dues waived for those rehearsals with no obligation. Rehearsals are open to all voice parts, and chorus auditions are not a requirement. Singers wishing to perform in the concert must regularly attend rehearsals joining the chorus no later than October 9. The chorus will not meet for rehearsal Thursday, September 25, which is Rosh Hashanah.

Dues are $20 with a $15 music deposit (new members only) and $10 one-time folder deposit. Those wishing to sing in the Winter Concert are encouraged to arrive for their first rehearsal at 6 p.m. to sign in and receive packets of the concert music.
