"...a great sound...absolutely thrilling to hear..."—Bar Harbor Times
HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM THE ACADIA CHORAL SOCIETY!
Many thanks to the sell-out audiences that braved the winter weather to attend our holiday concerts on December 6-7!
The enthusiastic audience response was part of the fun of this "spine-tingling...thriller of a Christmas concert." See the review from the December 11 edition of the Bar Harbor Times.
Spring Concert—Rehearsals Begin on January 20
Rehearsals will resume on January 20 for our May concert, with performances on May 2-3. We rehearse 7:00-9:00 p.m. every Tuesday, at the Unitarian Universalist Church in Ellsworth (121 Bucksport Rd.) We do not require auditions, but new members are asked to contact our director in advance of the first rehearsal. The repertoire for the spring concert includes Handel's magnificent Dixit Dominus, four selections by Stephen Paulus, and three selections by John Ireland.
_____________
The Acadia Choral Society is a community chorus of about seventy members, who come from a wide geographical area that includes Hancock, Penobscot and Waldo Counties in Downeast Maine. Members include teachers, students, Jackson Lab scientists, artists, lawyers, doctors, librarians, stay-at-home moms and dads, and more. Some have been musically trained, while others are learning to read music.
Founded in 1978, the chorus was directed by Shirley Smith from 1984 to 2007. Dr. Jamie Hagedorn is the current music director, assisted by accompanist Julia Morris-Myers.
The ACS performs a holiday concert the first weekend in December, and a spring concert the first weekend in May. Performances take place at St. Saviour's Church in Bar Harbor. We rehearse every Tuesday of our concert season at 7:00 p.m. at the Unitarian Universalist Church in Ellsworth (121 Bucksport Rd.)
We do not require auditions, but you are asked to contact our director in advance of the first rehearsal. Members pay dues and music fees; scholarships are available.
