Groton Community Christmas Choir Seeks Singers
GROTON: The Groton Community Christmas Choir is looking for singers of all ages! It’s been three years since their last performance and they’re hoping to see new members singing at the 46th annual Groton Community Christmas Concert. Timothy Goliger is the new director with Dan Dudka as the new accompanist. Founder Edie Tompkins is retiring along with long time accompanist Yvonne Gobis.
New members are welcome and there are no auditions, so please share this with your friends and family members who may want to join the choir. The first rehearsal is on Sunday evening, October 1 in the rehearsal space on the lower level of the Gray Building at Lawrence Academy. You may notice that this year’s rehearsal schedule, number of concerts and concert length are being shortened as they transition back to this annual tradition.
- Senior Choir, for adults including high school ages meets on Sundays from 6:30-8pm through December 3 (no October 8). Additional rehearsal for the Senior Choir on December 5.
- Treble Choir, for children 3rd-8th grade meets on Sundays from 4:30-6pm through December 3 (no October 8). Additional rehearsal for the treble choir on December 8
- Final Rehearsal will be December 9 with a performance at the Union Congregational Church, Groton on December 10 at 2pm and December 11 at 7:30pm.
Membership dues are $65 per person and a family’s total dues will not exceed $175. Pre-registration is strongly encouraged, as it saves so much time during the first rehearsals. If the fee causes a hardship, you are still welcome. Contact any committee member to request a waiver.
If you have any questions, please contact Kristen von Campe at kristen@von-campe.com. If registering for multiple family members, please complete one registration for each person at https://bit.ly/GrotonCommunityChristmasChoir.
