ROCKINGHAM-The Northeast Men's Summer Chorus (formerly Yankee Male Chorus) will be singing on Thursday, Aug. 8, at the United Church of Christ in Keene, New Hampshire; on Friday, Aug. 9 at United Church of Acworth (Church on the Hill) in Acworth, New Hampshire, and on Saturday, Aug. 10 at Chester Baptist Church in Chester.
This group provides music free to the churches and allows the groups a way of raising funds for local projects.
The chorus eagerly accepts local singers to their group. They offer a program for youth (high school/college) singers to earn a stipend/scholarship for their participation, starting at $250 for first-year singers.
Choral singing experience is helpful. Community service credit may also be possible. Youth are accepted right up to and including the first concert day. Practice occurs at 1 p.m. on the first day, Aug. 8.
I encourage community members and youth to look into this opportunity, as commitment is small and rewards are great. Local contacts are Dave and Priscilla Lambert (802-463-2271; lambert323@gmail.com).
