MARYVILLE, Mo. — The Nodaway Chorale is planning to launch its spring rehearsal season at 7 p.m. on Monday, Jan. 19, at the First Christian Church, located on the corner of Third and Buchanan streets.
According to a news release, the chorale’s 7 to 9 p.m. rehearsals will be in preparation for its 20th anniversary concert to be held in April at the Lee and Nina Schneider Center for the Performing Arts.
The nonprofit, non-audition, secular mixed-voice chorus has more than 60 singers from various communities throughout the region.
“The chorale members are enthusiastic about resuming rehearsals following our record-breaking successful holiday concert in December along with several performances in the community during the holiday season,” said director Jim Rash in the release. “As the area’s premier community chorus, we are looking forward to preparing an exciting program for our 20th Anniversary Concert in April. The theme of the spring concert is ‘From Our Hearts to Yours: A 20 Year Celebration.’
“The concert will feature choral music that both our singers and audiences have loved the most over our 20-year history. Continuing the pattern of recent years, we will present a diverse array of musical styles including classical, spirituals, Broadway and movies, and popular. We will also be highlighting several smaller ensembles of chorale singers.”
The chorus is inviting anyone who loves to sing to join. Chorale members are educators, office workers, health care workers, writers, businesspeople, high school and university students, retirees and more.
