Concert Singers of Greater Lynn seek singers for spring concert

The Concert Singers announce spring 37th season of winter-spring rehearsals

The Concert Singers of Greater Lynn will continue rehearsals for their May 2017 concerts on Tuesday evening, 7:30 p.m. Jan. 10 at the Unitarian-Universalist Church, 101 Forest Ave., Swampscott. The spring concert will open with Mozart's “Regina Coeli” (K. 276) for chorus, orchestra, and solo quartet, and continue with Franz Schubert's Mass in Bb Major.

The second half of the concert will feature spring pops, with a medley of tunes by Irving Berlin. There will also be a new work composed by Lynn resident Javier Marquez, and two spirituals written by Marbleheader Joan Cutler. The program will continue with six new spirituals arranged by Rollo Dilworth. The concert will end with a rousing rendition of Irving Berlin's “God Bless America,” with audience participation.

Jan. 10, 17 and 24 are considered open rehearsals. A prospective member may come and try out the music, meet the group and consider joining. Tenors and basses are most welcome, as well as sopranos and altos. There is no obligation to pay dues or purchase music during open rehearsals in January. On Jan. 24, the membership list for the spring performances will be closed. The concert venues in Swampscott and Lynn have plenty of parking, and are both handicap-accessible.

The spring concerts are scheduled for Friday, May 5 and Sunday, May 7 in Swampscott and Lynn, respectively. Membership dues are $20 for the entire semester plus the cost of music.
