Love to sing? Join the 2013 Choral Union!

Choral Union has never had auditions, and anyone who enjoys music and enjoys to sing has always been welcome.  Singers with years of training stand next to those who just love to sing.  Music-reading skills are not required.

Join us for registration and first rehearsal of “Hodie (First Day)” at 6:00 p.m. on  Monday, September 9, 2013, at CargillUnitedMethodistChurch, 2000 Wesley Avenue, Janesville.  Registration fee, $20. Weekly rehearsals continue on Monday nights from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at CargillUnitedMethodistChurch, 2000 Wesley Avenue, Janesville, through Monday, December 2, 2013. Technical rehearsal will take place at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, December 7, 2013, at CargillUnitedMethodistChurch, Janesville.

The sellout crowd at Choral Union’s single concert in 2011 brought a change in programming for 2012 – not one, but two concerts!

And that change carries into 2013.  Two concerts are scheduled for Choral Union’s 132^nd anniversary celebration this year.  Performances will take place at 7:00 p. m. on Saturday, December 7, 2013, and again at 2:00 p. m. on Sunday, December 8, 2013, at Cargill United Methodist Church, 2000 Wesley Avenue, Janesville.

“Hodie (This Day)” by Ralph Vaughan Williams is the headliner for the 2013
Choral Union concert season.  Conductor Richard Severing describes the masterpiece as a “great retelling of the Christmas story with exciting choral and orchestral numbers along with beautiful, touching solos.”  The 100-plus member chorus and orchestra will be complemented by a small choir of talented local children singing the narration of the story.

It was six years ago that Choral Union planned to perform this work, but a major winter storm prompted the first ever cancellation of a Choral Union concert.  The last time Choral Union presented “Hodie (This Day)” goes back 41 years – to 1972.  We think you will agree that it was worth the wait!
