As September approaches, Chorus North Shore is about to enter our first full year of rehearsal and performance since 2019. We are very excited and looking forward to starting our season with the ever-popular Handel’s Messiah.

We have made a few changes that will, hopefully, simplify rehearsal but not at the expense of safety. We will continue to strive for a three-foot distance between singers.

Recent data has shown that there is no difference in droplet concentrations up to 30 minutes. As a result, we will rehearse in 30-minute segments followed by exiting for 10-minute periods of air exchange. Masks will still be required upon entry into Ipswich High School. We have capped the number of singers at 77 with a wait list should there be some attrition. You can be added to the wait list by e-mailing Annmarie Baldisserotto at ab869@outlook.com.

Please be advised, the COVID-19 pandemic has been an ever-changing phenomenon and, as such, we too, may be required to alter our policies in the months ahead to ensure the safety of all of Chorus North Shore.
