Rehearsals will begin Monday, February 7, for the Sippican Choral Society’s springtime “Mostly Mozart” concert, and everyone is invited to join in.
“Come sing with us” invited the Choral Society’s President, Mike Chaplain. “Rehearsals begin at 7:30 at St. Anthony’s Church, 26 Hammond Street, Mattapoisett.” The group is inviting all past members, and also any newcomers who enjoy singing and making music. Anyone, including High School vocalists, are invited to join. “We all learn so much every year about the music and how to present it. Nobody should ever shy away from giving it a try. And we do not require auditions.”
This will be Sippican Choral Society’s 58th year of making music. The group draws singers from all over the South Coast and surrounding communities. To protect everyone from COVID, the group takes extraordinary precautions. Wearing a mask and being vaccinated are mandatory to be a member. Also, rehearsals are conducted in a large, open church with lots of physical separation between singers. Also, rehearsals are kept short to minimize exposure. “With these precautions, we were able to put on two Christmas concerts in December,” Chaplain said. “The safety of our singers and audience is always our number one priority.”
Sippican Choral Society will rehearse every Monday through April, with a concert being planned in early May 2022. If anyone would like more information, just come to the first rehearsal and members will gladly answer all your questions.
