Updated 9/9/2024: The MCC Singers have a unique season planned for 2024-25!
In December, they will present a program of traditional Christmas and holiday music, where the 40+-voice choir will be joined by the Madisonville North Hopkins High School Choir and The Winds of Christmas Community Wind Ensemble. The evening will round out with Pennyrile Ringers, a community handbell choir, and First Christian Church of Madisonville’s Young Musicians Children’s Choir, comprised of upper elementary students.
In May, the MCC Singers will combine with the Madisonville Community Chorus, the MNHHS Chamber Choir, featured soloist Dr. Sara Adams, and a live chamber orchestra to present John Rutter’s Requiem, a modern classic in choral music.
There is no audition to join the MCC Singers choral ensemble, which is open to community members in high school and up. The first rehearsal of the season is Tuesday, September 10, at 5:30 p.m. New and returning singers will meet in room C-90 in the John H. Gray Building on the campus of Madisonville Community College. Regular rehearsals are held on Tuesdays at 5:30 p.m. throughout the season.
There are no auditions for wind ensemble players, but they need at least two years of playing experience. Anyone interested in joining one of the wind ensembles should contact MCC Singers Director Dr. Bill Thomas at 270-339-9482 or bill@firstchristianmadisonville.org. Limited rehearsals for the Winds of Christmas will be announced later.
