HomeThe Middleport Community Choir invites you to a Choral Invitational
Saturday, October 25, 2014
What is an invitational?
Much like an All-County or All-State Choral performance, an invitational is when a group of selected choirs and individuals prepare the same music, and then join together for an all day rehearsal, followed by an evening performance. The Invitational brings communities together in one voice.
Any full group that participates will have the opportunity to perform a song independently, with their own director and accompanist, if they desire. However, individuals are also encouraged to sign up for the invitational. If your choir has a 40 singers, but only 8 can participate, we welcome them all.
The majority of the performance will consist of the complete ensemble with the guest conductor,
We would love for you and/or your choral group to join us!
