With a theme, “The Persistence of Beauty,” the Mad River Chorale presents its spring concerts on Friday, May 13, at the Waterbury Congregational Church and Saturday, May 14, at the Warren United Church.
Conductor Mary Jane Austin has designed a program including much of the singers’ favorite music for spring, with themes of happiness, positivity, rebirth, and of course, beauty. Accompanist Alison Cerutti will support the singers on piano.
The community chorus, which includes singers from 14 Central Vermont towns ranging in age from high school to their ninth decade, will be performing the music of Verdi, Randall Thompson, Mozart, and Handel.
On the recommendation of the chorale’s medical advisor, all singers will receive both PCR and rapid antigen testing before and on the days of the concerts. Depending on community spread of COVID-19 the weekend of the concert, the singers may be masked.
The audience will be required to show evidence of complete vaccination, which the State defines as one Johnson & Johnson dose or two of either Pfizer or Moderna. The audience will also be required to be masked at all times.
Please note that the start times for the two concerts are different: 7:30 p.m. in Waterbury and 7 p.m. in Warren.
