Rehearsals for the SCS Spring 2026 concert, “The Glory of Spring,” will begin on Monday, January 12, at 7:00 pm, at Wickenden Chapel, 86 Spring St., Marion. Doors open at 6:30 pm, and singers are asked to come early to register and pick up their music envelopes. If you are unsure about being able to sing with the group, come anyway, try out the music for two weeks, then decide. Dues of $40.00 are due by the third rehearsal for all singers. Membership details can be found on our website at sippicanchoralsociety.org.
The concert itself will be held at Wickenden Chapel on Sunday, May 3, at 4:00 pm. The featured work will be Antonio Vivaldi’s “Gloria,” one of sacred music’s most uplifting choral works. The group will also perform Mendelssohn’s gentle prayer, “Verleih uns Frieden.” These pieces, together with the lovely harmonies of Haydn, the humor of Gilbert and Sullivan, and the rousing rhythms of American spirituals, guarantee a most glorious welcome to Spring.
