After waiting for COVID-19 Omicron cases to subside, Mad River Chorale conductor Mary Jane Austin and the chorale’s board of directors have announced the start of the group’s spring term. 

The first rehearsal will take place from 7 to 9 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 28, at the Waitsfield United Church of Christ. 

Rehearsals will continue on Monday evenings, 7-9 p.m.. in the chorus room at Harwood Union High School. Concerts, usually performed in May, are scheduled for June 11-12 this year due to the late rehearsal start. 

New members are always welcome to join Mad River Chorale. The only requirement is that singers put in some time learning the music outside of rehearsals, and they be able to hold their part and sing with their voice section. A number of aids to music-learning are provided. Dues are charged, but no one is ever turned away for lack of ability to pay as scholarships are available.
