May 2022 Monthly Update

We are rapidly approaching our first performance in over two years. On June 25, 2022, Chorus North Shore will perform Light in Times of Struggle, featuring ‘’Faure’s Requiem” and Morten Lauridsen’s “Lux Aeterna” as well as Brahms “How Lovely is Thy Dwelling Place’’. All of us in the Chorus North Shore community and beyond have faced significant challenges during this time; some life-altering and some very painful. It is our intent to honor those who have been lost in the past two years through the music we will perform and bring some peace to those who remain.

Those who wish to memorialize a loved one can have their loved one’s name added to the program for $10.00. Entries can be made by going to www.chorusnorthshore.org no later than June 1, 2022.
Tickets may also be purchased online; $19.00 for seniors and students, $22.00 for general admission. Simply follow the prompts. Tickets will also be available from Chorus members and at the door. Performance starts at 7:00pm.

One of the many changes affecting us has been a significant reduction in the size of Chorus North Shore. That loss is not only measured in the voices we miss but also, in the manpower needed to successfully present a choral performance for which Chorus North Shore is known. One element that allows us to meet that standard is being able to see Sunny as we sing and to project our voices to the audience by standing on risers. We are in desperate need of transporting risers to Our Lady of Hope in Ipswich for Thursday June 23,2022 for dress rehearsal and returning the risers to South Hamilton after the performance. With a smaller chorus our riser needs are reduced. Anyone who wishes to volunteer some time and a pickup truck or van would be greatly appreciated. The risers are 6 feet in length. If you able to help, please contact Marya Machart at maryamachart@gmx.com.

We hope that we can bring back some of the joy that that left us more than two years ago.

Stay well,

Donn Kurjan, President
Chorus North Shore
