A new chorus is starting in JP.
Consonance Chorale is an SATB (4-part) choral opportunity for men, women, and teens (17 and up), dedicated to bringing people together to make energetic, community music. Rehearsals will be monthly, and incorporate vocal technique and instruction into the choral rehearsal setting.
No music reading is necessary, just a commitment to attend rehearsals, and work towards a community performance in February of 2013.
