The Sippican Choral Society will present its annual spring concert, Music By The Sea, on Saturday, April 30 at 7:30 pm at Wickenden Chapel, Tabor Academy in Marion.
Concertgoers will enjoy a delightful program with a French theme. Some of the music the chorus will perform includes: Haydn’s “Missa Brevis Sancti Joannis de Deo in B-flat,” “Cantique de Jean Racine” by Gabriel Fauré, and “Notre Père” by Maurice Duruflé. Leonard Bernstein’s “Make Our Garden Grow” from Candide and a Les Misérables medley will also be on the program.
In addition, a small chamber choir will continue the French theme with three selections. In its continuing effort to encourage choral singing among young people, the chorus has invited the Sippican School Chorus, under the direction of Ms. Patricia Richard, to sing with the chorus, as well as presenting several songs themselves.
The Sippican Choral Society, under the direction of Dr. Tianxu Zhou and accompanied by Michelle Gordon, has been performing at least two concerts every year since its founding in 1965.
Tickets for the April 30 concert are $15 for adults and $7 for children under the age of 18 and are now available at The Bookstall in Marion, No Kidding at Mattapoisett’s Ropewalk, The Symphony Shop in Dartmouth, and Euro in Fairhaven. Chorus members also have tickets for sale, and there will be tickets available at the door on the day of the concert.
