TIME TO AUDITION FOR COMMUNITY CHOIRS!
On Sunday, January 22 at 2pm in the Gathering Space at St. James Church in Sewickley, we will hold auditions. We welcome all new participants, both High School and Adult.. There will be no cost involved, but free voice and acting lessons will be given to those who participate. There will be five full rehearsals and they will be on Sunday afternoons and a few Friday evenings with performances in the last 3 weeks of Lent. The choral music part, which the entire cast also needs to know will be held on Monday evenings at St. Stephen's Choir Room in Sewickley, beginning January 30th. To be a part of this production is to experience the power of the passion of our Lord; what better way to share its depth than by bringing this production to parishes of all denominations? Do you love to sing, but haven't sung since High School or college? Are you looking for something more than a church choir? Want to learn how to sing better and meet people, who share your love of music? Do you want your children to have proper voice training and learn techniques to sing in all the styles of today including pop? Do you want them to gain the self-assurance provided by individual attention? Do you home school but want them to have the advantage of singing with a choir? Does your teenager want to be featured and not just be a part of the large school chorus? Do they want to learn dramatics and movement and be featured in musicals and have solos? If you answered yes to any of the above questions, then consider auditioning and joining one of our community choirs! We have a choir for all ages from 3rd grade through your 80's! And since, we have members from the five counties, you will probably be able to car-pool with someone from your area to the rehearsals in Sewickley. The Village Singers needs all voices: Sopranos, Altos, Basses and Tenors. Our repertoire includes classical numbers, spirituals, gospel, musical theater selections, folk, standards, jazz and pop styles. Beginning the Monday after Labor Day, they meet on Monday evenings from 7:15-9:30pm, using the facilities at St. Stephen Church's choir room in Sewickley. 
The Teen Chorale, for students from 8th grade through high school, meets the Fall semester on Wednesday evenings from 6:30-9:30pm. At Christmas, they present a "Madrigal Celebration" in costume of 16th century England with king, queen, court jesters and royal court. The script is satire and includes solo and ensemble singing. This is the same group that performs the Passion Play, "Why Must He Die?" during the Lenten season. This semester they will meet in the music studio of the director's home in Sewickley Hills. The Choraleers is our children's choir made up of 3rd through 7th graders that meet on Tuesdays after school at the music studio of the director in Sewickley Hills. The children are taught proper techniques to sing in all styles of music from classical head voice resonance to musical theater belt and pop singing. They are also taught to sight-read the music and sing in harmony. The children will develop poise and self-assurance in their singing. Performances for all the groups include venues as local "light up nights", the Byham Theater, churches of all denominations, country clubs, community, civic groups and retirement homes.
