by On Friday, June 27, Mountain Voices Community Chorus will present its summer concert, “A Little Night Jazz.” The concert will be held at 7:00 PM in the sanctuary of Cornelia First Presbyterian Church.
This concert includes many standards from the jazz style from the 1920s to the 1990s, including “As Time Goes By,” “Moon River,” “Dream,” and “And So It Goes.” The choir will be dressed in jazz costumes, further enhancing the program.
“This concert features adults from Habersham and Stephens counties. Each season has slightly different performers, depending on who is available to sing for that particular concert,” explains Mountain Voices founder and director, Donna James.
Hundreds of singers have been part of the Mountain Voices concerts since its founding in 2007. James says the current group of adult singers ranges from 17 and up.
“There are new faces in the choir as well as those who have been singing with Mountain Voices for many seasons,” she says.
This rehearsal season began in April. Taylor Sexton is the primary conductor.
New voices welcome!
Mountain Voices welcomes new members each season. The next session will begin on September 2nd at First Presbyterian Church. The rehearsals are each Tuesday evening until the week of the concert, November 14.
Beginning again this fall, Foothills Community Children’s Chorus will also rehearse on Tuesday nights from 6:15 – 7:00. This choir is open to kids ages 7 – 12. They will join with Mountain Voices for the fall concert.
