Do you like to sing? The UConn Festival Chorus will begin again Monday, January 27th. This vocal ensemble is a large mixed choir comprised of UConn faculty, staff, and students as well as members of the Greater Storrs Community. The Festival Chorus is under the direction of Dr. Jamie Spillane and Assistant Conductor Ken Johnson and rehearses once per week on Monday evenings – 7:00-9:00pm. This ensemble provides singers with the opportunity to be part of an outstanding community organization and to express themselves through the art of joyous choral singing. The Festival Chorus collaborates annually with the UConn Concert Choir and Symphony Orchestra in performances of choral/orchestral masterworks and for the fall of 2013 performed Beethoven’s 9th Symphony and other great works with the UConn Symphony Orchestra. Some experience singing in a choir and music sight-reading is recommended but all interested singers are welcome and encouraged to be part of this outstanding choral organization. Festival Chorus may be taken for no credit (with a small membership dues each semester) for anyone who is not a registered UConn student. Please contact Dr. Jamie Spillane at jamie.spillane@uconn.edu for further information. Interested community members and registered students please show up for the first rehearsal, Monday, January 27th at 6:30pm in room ML 103 in the UConn Music Building.
