CLINTON —
Auditions for RiverChor will be held from 1 to 3 p.m. Sunday in the sanctuary of Zion Lutheran Church, 439 Third Ave. South.
Rehearsals will begin at 7 p.m. in the Great Hall of First Presbyterian Church, 400 Fifth Ave. South. This is a change from previous years when the choir rehearsed in the choral room of Lyons Middle School.
“We have a full slate of concerts again this year,” Rob Engelson, RiverChor conductor said, “including our fall concert Oct. 28; Handel’s “Messiah,” with orchestra, on Dec. 2; our annual appearance with the Clinton Symphony Orchestra on Dec. 8; and our spring concert Sunday, April 14. We’re always looking for good singers in all sections, so I hope to see some auditionees Sunday.”
RiverChor, which was established in 2004, performs a full range of choral music from choral-orchestral and unaccompanied classical works to Broadway show tunes, folk songs and spirituals. It also has performed regularly with the Clinton Symphony Orchestra.
Auditions will take 10 minutes and auditionees do not need to prepare music in advance. For more information or to arrange an alternate audition time, contact Engelson at 243-6042 or 212-6555.
