The group plans concerts on Friday, May 12, and Saturday, May 13. Rehearsals are scheduled for 7-9 p.m. on Mondays weekly with Conductor Mary Jane Austin, collaborative accompanist Alison Cerutti and vocal coach Erik Kroncke. 

So far, the main pieces on the spring program are the Schubert Mass in G and the Fauré Cantique de Jean Racine. 

A non-auditioned community chorus, the Mad River Chorale invites singers of all levels of experience to join. The only requirements are to be able to sing with your voice section and commit to practice between rehearsals.

Music-learning aids and suggestions are provided. Dues are charged to help pay for professional staff, but scholarships are available. More information is online at madriverchorale.net or call 802-496-4781 and leave a message for a call back.
