Community Chorus and Orchestra seeks new members

The Anderson County Community Chorus and Orchestra is opening its membership again this fall to community members with singing and instrumental experience and the desire to participate in the annual Christmas Concert.

The Christmas Concert will be performed at the Palestine Civic Center at 6:30 p.m. Dec. 13. The Anderson County Community Chorus and Orchestra have been presenting great choral music for the past five years. The group continues to grow in quality and artistry with every performance. The current group of musicians includes members that represent all walks of life. Age is no restriction, as our musicians range from high school students through senior citizens. The chorus is nonauditioned and interested singers with a strong desire to learn and perform challenging choral music are encouraged to attend the first rehearsal. The goal is to enjoy the experience of promoting excellent music to our community and beyond.

Rehearsals begin Aug. 17. All rehearsals will be conducted at Grace United Methodist Church, 1918 E. Murchison on Monday nights at 6:30 p.m.
