The CT Choral Society invites you to sing/hear Verdi's Requiem at a summer sing event

Whether you’re a singer (who wants to get your vocal cords back in shape for the fall concert season), or simply a lover of great music, you’re invited to come to the Connecticut Choral Society’s summer sing event featuring Verdi’s monumental Requiem on Monday, August 31st, 7:30 pm at Valley Presbyterian Church (21 W Whisconier Road, Brookfield). Registration begins at 7:00 pm.

This is an opportunity to learn the background of Verdi’s capstone piece, to sing the choral sections, and to experience the rehearsal techniques of a high-caliber choral ensemble. You’ll meet our conductor Maestro Eric Knapp and fellow singers, hear the exciting news of our 2015/2016 season, and schedule an audition, if you want to join us in the fall. Non-singers are welcome to sit back and enjoy the music. All you need is a love of choral music and a willingness to have some fun in a relaxed informal environment against the backdrop of a summer evening.

In April 2015, the Connecticut Choral Society (CCS), in conjunction with the Waterbury Symphony Orchestra, presented Verdi’s Requiem to sell-out audiences at two concerts at the Fine Arts Center of Naugatuck Community College in Waterbury. CCS has been named one of the top five vocal ensembles in the state.

Admission is $10 for singers (includes use of music – singers may bring their own scores, if they wish) and is FREE for non-singers. The evening will end with light refreshments. For more information, call 888-927-2933 or write info@ctchoralsociety.org.
