Music on the Hill invites singers to join this year's Summer Chorus for Haydn's Lord Nelson Mass with guest conductor Scott Taylor.  Rehearsals begin July 9th and run Tuesdays and Thursdays through July from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Weston Public Library, 56 Norfield Road, Weston, CT.  The chorus will perform on Thursday, August 1, at 8 p.m. at St. Matthew's Episcopal Church in Wilton, 36 New Canaan Road.  No audition required; registration fee is $40.  Contact ellen@musiconthehillct.org to register.

 

Now in its 11th year, the Summer Chorus was founded by Music on the Hill Artistic Director Ellen Dickinson.  It draws singers from across southwestern CT to rehearse and perform a major work from the classical choral repertoire.  Past Summer Chorus concerts have featured works by Brahms, Bernstein, Dvorak, and Mendelssohn, among others.

 

Music on the Hill is an independent, nonprofit organization dedicated to high-quality music performance and education for all ages.  It offers music workshops and four performing ensembles:  Jubilate Ringers, Chamber Chorus, Summer Chorus, and Festival Chorus.  It is led by Artistic Directors David H. Connell and Ellen Dickinson.  Like us on facebook at www.facebook.com/musiconthehillct.
