THE LIVING SPRINGS CHORALE, SLEEPY CREEK CHILDREN'S CHOIR TO BEGIN REHEARSALS FOR HOLIDAY SEASON CONCERTS
BERKELEY SPRINGS, West Va., Aug. 28, 2008 – The Community Choir, Inc. today announced that the Living Springs Chorale and the Sleepy Creek Children’s Choir will begin preparations for their holiday concert season in mid-September.
The Living Springs Chorale Enters Seventh Season
The Living Springs Chorale, Morgan County’s own community choir, will hold its first rehearsal for the fall season on Tuesday, September 16 at 7 p.m. Rehearsals are held weekly in the Fellowship Hall of the Berkeley Springs Presbyterian Church, located at 97 Mercer Street in Berkeley Springs.
The Living Springs Chorale is planning three or four holiday season concerts in December, all in the Berkeley Springs-Great Cacapon area. Past December concerts have featured choral masterpieces by Handel, Bach and Rutter, as well as contemporary composers and many traditional holiday pieces.
The 30 + voice ensemble, now in its seventh season, is sponsored by the Community Choir, Inc. and directed by Lydia Walker. The volunteer choral group is open to singers of high school age through mature years. Prerequisites include love of classical and spiritual choral music, some previous singing experience, and commitment to 10-11 weekly rehearsals, in addition to concerts.
Interested singers are encouraged to register for and attend the initial gathering on September 16 at the Berkeley Springs Presbyterian Church. For information about the Living Springs Chorale, contact Lydia Walker, Artistic Director, at 304-258-3031 by September 10.

The Sleepy Creek Children’s Choir will hold registration for the fall season on Thursday, September 18 at 7 p.m. at the Berkeley Springs Presbyterian Church on Mercer Street.

This season, the SCCC will add a third choir: a Youth Chorale for singers ages 13-18+. Rehearsals for the Youth Chorale will be held Tuesdays from 5-6 p.m. at the Berkeley Springs Presbyterian Church.
