  • 9/10 UConn Festival Chorus Begins Today

    UCONN FESTIVAL CHORUS   -  MUSI 1111 sec 6    ML103

    The UConn Festival Chorus is a large mixed chorus of approximately 100 singers 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. Jun Lee and rehearses once per week on Monday evenings - 7:00pm-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 often collaborates with the UConn Concert Choir and Symphony Orchestra in performances of choral/orchestral masterworks. For the fall of 2018, will be preparing Handel's Messiah for a performance with the UConn Symphony Orchestra players on December 7th. 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 $35 membership dues each semester) for anyone who is not a registered UConn student.  Please contact Dr. Lee at jun.2.lee@uconn.edu  for further information.  Interested community members please show up for the first rehearsal, Monday, Sept. 10 at 6:30pm in room ML 103 in the UConn Music Building.
