SSC Community Voices Choruses Present Spring Concert

South Shore Conservatory’s SSC Community Voices and SSC Community Voices Too! choruses present a spring concert on Sunday, May 22, 3 pm at Inly School, 46 Watch Hill Drive, Scituate.

SSC Community Voices and SSC Community Voices Too! are non-auditioned choruses that provide joyful ensemble singing and performance opportunities to over 50 adults and young adults with developmental delays. These choruses are funded by the Cordelia Family Foundation. Their support of these choruses has provided greater access for many more singers, nearly doubling the choruses in size, and necessitating the larger performance space for this combined chorus spring concert.

Directed by board certified music therapists Eve Montague and Amanda Goff, accompanied by student pianist Karen Ji, SSC Community Voices began their seventh season last September. The Hingham-based group “Too!” is directed by board certified music therapists Emily Browder Melville and Kari O’Briant, and accompanied by student pianist Jennifer Boyd. Both ensembles begin their next session in September and welcome new singers and peer mentors.

The concert features “A World Of Music,” and presents music about the world and from around the world. Repertoire includes Arirang, What a Wonderful World, Waltzing Matilda, and Three Dog Night’s Joy to the World. Both choruses will sing together Sibelius’ Finlandia (This Is My Song) and I’d Like to Teach the World to Sing.

SSC is grateful to Inly Head of School Donna Milani Luther and the entire Inly School community to perform at their beautiful facility.

The concert is free and open to the public. Audience members are invited to join the chorus members for a complimentary reception following the concert.
