We sing SATB choral music in the folk, classical, blues and gospel traditions, as well as songs from a variety of world cultures. Our focus is on enjoying singing together in harmony and in community.

I will notify you that you have a spot, so please wait to hear back from me before mailing your registration and payment.

The fee for the fall session is $150 per person. There are several work-exchange options and partial scholarships available. Please contact me if you want to discuss these.

CARAVAN CHORUS

The mission of the Caravan Chorus is to reach out to elders through song.

We will rehearse at Mt. Toby Meeting House in Leverett from 2:00 to 3:30 pm on Tuesdays –

April 9, 16, 23, 30
May 7
June 18.

Our site visits to elder care centers will take place on Tuesday afternoons, May 14, 21, 28, June 4 and 11.

We will learn a repertoire of songs for the chorus to sing at Assisted Living centers and Senior Community Centers.

On Tuesdays, May 14, 21, 28, June 4 and 11, we will caravan out to elder care centers for afternoon

performances.

We begin each site visit with a choral performance of about 5 to 6 songs. During the second half of the performance, chorus members join with the elders for a singalong. This part of the site visit is always the most exciting part for both us and our audience, as we join together in a joyous community sing. Magic happens!

What’s the difference between the Leverett Community Chorus and the Caravan Chorus?

The Caravan Chorus will meet during the day, the Leverett Chorus will continue to meet at night.
Caravan Chorus will have tons of fun music to sing too, but it will involve less memorization of SATB choral music and will also involve learning to harmonize by ear on some songs. The focus of this chorus is community outreach through song.
The Leverett Community Chorus has some more slightly challenging music and will involve learning SATB choral music of different musical genres including songs from a variety of world cultures.

So, if you would like to join either chorus please use the form at the top of this page to let me know.
