The New Hope Solebury & Lambertville Community Choir is doing another one of those FREE music things on TUESDAY EVENING, June 9 @ 7 p.m. & YOU ARE INVITED to come hear us at Trinity Episcopal Church in Solebury!! 

In a somewhat different approach to learning and presenting music, NHSLCC rehearses and performs several short music blocs throughout the choral season. Each bloc includes several weeks of rehearsal on a small number of pieces, and input & instruction from a guest clinician, culminating in a FREE Tuesday evening mini-concert. The all-volunteer/non-audition choir’s June 9 performance features music from Puccini, Whitacre, Becker, Bernon, Lennon & McCartney, Bowman, Waters and more. Outstanding piano accompanist Roburt Gajdos will also be featured and we've got some guitars, too!

“Music is medicine and music is for everyone,” says NHSLCC founder/artistic director Rick Rosen. “Our basic idea is to make music & musical expression accessible not just to those who enjoy the ‘upper levels’ of listening and performance, but to one & all. Our goal is to learn and to make good music, and we’d like to invite the community in to share in the results.”

So ... please join us for a casual FREE evening performance on TUESDAY EVENING, June 9 @ 7 p.m. at Trinity Episcopal Church in Solebury, on Upper York Rd. (at Sugan Rd.).

This is a good opportunity to get a taste of our new direction, especially if you are considering joining a choral group, but there is absolutely no obligation, of course. Our goal is to make good music, and we'd like to share that with you. Hope to see you there!
