ALBANY — There’s reason to lift up the community’s collective voice and sing.
The Albany Chorale will resume rehearsals on Monday in the sanctuary at Covenant Presbyterian Church. Interested singers are invited to attend.
The Chorale’s first concert of the season is scheduled for Oct. 21 at 7 p.m. at the Albany Museum of Art, 311 Meadowlark Drive in Albany. That concert is called “European Splendor Exhibition” and will be a program of Renaissance and Baroque choral music in collaboration with the museum’s art exhibit that will be on display at the same time. The concert will feature the large work by Ralph Vaughan Williams: “Dona Nobis Pacem.”
No tickets will be sold for this concert, which is the chorale’s annual concert to benefit its scholarship program, Therefore, donations will be accepted. Social distancing will be observed. Masks are encouraged.
The Albany Chorale is a community chorus. Singers vary in ages, backgrounds and musical expertise. Interested singers are invited to join us Monday evenings at 6:30 at Covenant Presbyterian Church, 2126 West Edgewater Drive for rehearsals.
