New singers are encouraged to join
The Rochester Community Chorus announces its fall/winter 2024 season with a full performance schedule, starting with a major presentation of Lux: The Dawn From on High by Dan Forrest, with a small chamber orchestra, on Sunday, November 17, 2024, at 4 p.m. at St. Mary of the Hills Catholic Church, Rochester Hills. Written in 2018, this five-movement masterwork explores various facets of light and encompasses ancient chant, shimmering light, unconditional love, heavenly joy, and deep peace about light in the darkness.
The Chorus will join the Rochester Community Concert Band and the Choral Union of Rochester Christian University for a Christmas concert on December 3 at Avondale High School, Auburn Hills, at 7:30 p.m.
Continuing an annual tradition, the Chorus will present two musical compositions at the annual Rochester community Christmas concert held at St. Andrew’s Catholic Church, Rochester, on December 8, 2024.
Rehearsals for the Rochester Community Chorus are held on Monday evenings at 7:45 p.m., starting September 9, 2024, in the sanctuary of St. Mary of the Hills church. New singers are always welcome.
