North Country Chorus FY24 Annual Appeal
Dear Friends,
Can you believe it? The North Country Chorus is celebrating its Diamond Anniversary!
We hope you can celebrate with us at our 75th Holiday Concerts. We will be singing R. Vaughan Williams’s beloved Christmas cantata, “Hodie,” on Friday, December 1, at 7:30 pm, and Sunday, December 3, at 3 pm. Both concerts are in South Church Hall on the St. Johnsbury Academy campus.
Under the steady, patient leadership of our fine director, Alan Rowe, the 70 members of the Chorus will also sing Morten Lauridsen’s lush choral setting of James Agee‘s poem “Sure on This Shining Night.”
Alan is also bringing his select choral ensemble, the St. Johnsbury Academy Hilltones, to sing for us.
And we are delighted to announce that the North Country Youth Chorus will also be with us. Yes, our music program for students in grades 3 through 8 has returned under their wonderful new director, Cintia Lovo.
We are pleased to again open the doors to our concerts by donation. Our audiences have shown their appreciation for this policy; concert revenue has been comparable to ticket sales in previous years.
But none of this would be possible without the generous lead support of our sponsors and friends.
Donations received by November 21st will be listed in our printed concert programs. All gifts received thereafter will be added in the spring concert program.
Thank you for showing your love of music and local community arts by your attendance and gifts.
